"Oliver will tell you he doesn't photograph with his eyes alone but uses his muscles, bones, organs, and guts to feel his way into the thing at hand. His is always an altered reality.... He is like some modern day astronomer who won't be satisfied until he can see into a black hole."

Jack Welpott

"Oliver Gagliani's photographic studies exhibit a love of subject and silver. There is for him a fascination for the process of transformations encountered between the solid and the ephemeral worlds. The resulting images are captured by a man with intent, intensity and a feeling for the poetic."

"There is always a challenge in finding a way in which one can express the artistic elements which reside in all of us. Some start this quest at birth. Others envision that this process is an integrated part of our day to day life. These daily bits of pieces of creative flow surface with or without being consciously acknowledged or otherwise acted upon. Then there are those who have been found to cultivate their creative self much later in their life, a path less traveled but none the less worn.

Flora is a monograph of quiet intensity. It originates from a woman who made a commitment as a mature adult, to seriously explore the possibilities of photography as her creative voice. Her mentors during this process have been some of the finest photographers of our day but it was her inner sense of play and exploration, combined with a keen creative eye that kept her moving forward, producing this inspiring body of work presented in this intimate monograph."
