"Betina Samaia's gaze is not interested in what can be easily perceived, her gaze seeks the hidden.
In this series 'Tuscany ' she used a camera whose parameters, specially transformed, allow the capture of a spectrum of light unattainable to our eyes. If the human eye finds limits, the diligent photographer's research paths overcome them. The refraction of infrared light in objects is captured in the images, thus proposing a new relationship between colors and tones."

Biography
Betina Samaia
He began his photographic research in the 1970s. From 2007 onwards, he devoted himself exclusively to photography, exhibiting at the Caixa Econômica Cultural Center in São Paulo. He participated in several exhibitions, including those at Paço das Artes and the Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS) in São Paulo; at the Museu Histórico Nacional in Rio de Janeiro; at La Quatriéme Image and the Espace des Arts Sans Frontières in Paris; and at Le Magazyn in Los Angeles. His works have been shown at SPArte/Foto since 2010.
She is the author of two books of photographic essays: "Azul" (2015) and "Noite Afora, Noite Adentro" (2017). These essays highlight her current interest in photographing distinct landscapes at night, which allow for the creation of an ineffable and dreamlike atmosphere.
Betina graduated in 1988 in psychology from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP).
