Their work breathes freedom, transgression, and restlessness. There are no rules. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Tell us about yourself and your work. Where did your vocation start? Any first memories?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Even as a child I was very curious and constantly questioned my surroundings. If you add to that a culturally active father and mother with whom you established some role models, then you have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What do you find most satisfying about your work?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing is the expressive freedom it gives me. I can't do whatever I please because there's usually a client involved, but working in this field has allowed me to explore other disciplines that I mix with photography, and in my free time, I can dedicate myself to this wandering. Basically, what I like most about my job is what I can apply from it in my free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/scale_960xn_\/public\/mediabrowser\/05-entrevista-adriana-eskenazi.jpg?itok=J9LxTeNK\" alt=\"When the norm is to create without rules: Interview with Adriana Eskenazi | Monapart \" title=\"Interview - Adriana Eskenazi\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/scale_960xn_\/public\/mediabrowser\/06-entrevista-adriana-eskenazi.jpg?itok=Y5fQxM2Q\" alt=\"When the norm is to create without rules: Interview with Adriana Eskenazi | Monapart \" title=\"Interview - Adriana Eskenazi\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What is your creative process like, what are your sources of inspiration, any particular music while working?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends a lot. There's no set rule. With photography, I've always been very concerned with trying to recreate stories and racking my brains inventing them, now I look for real situations. Social media, advertising, and image in general are full of <em>Fakes<\/em>. Instead, when I paint photos or just paint, I invent non-stop, but almost always revolving around gastronomy. I mix furniture with food, with the names of restaurants I like, and with things I'm thinking about at that moment. The music depends on the era, but for a while now I've had Les Baxter on repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/scale_960xn_\/public\/mediabrowser\/07-entrevista-adriana-eskenazi.jpg?itok=gknGQxYV\" alt=\"When the norm is to create without rules: Interview with Adriana Eskenazi | Monapart \" title=\"Interview - Adriana Eskenazi\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Favourite colour, book, film and record - in that order! ;D<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Impossible for me to have favourites.
