A Letter To You

Beautiful things come from ugly moments in history.

Greatest accomplishments come from pain, loss, war...

Harnessing these moments through creative expression allows us to bring into existence something meaningful and permanent, so that it is not simply a faded memory, bound to be forgotten, but that these images may live on and speak their purpose.

When you allow yourself to be lost in creativity, doing what brings you utmost happiness you truly break free. This is what ultimately makes us feel alive.

I am so proud to see what this year has produced for all of our Folio family.

We are wiser and more patient. We take the time to reflect and we don’t hold back.

Once again, we are able to rejoice in collaboration, and we do it with a fervor we never had before.

This magazine is just that...

Sharing the past, present and future, without holding back.

I am blessed to work alongside such exquisite talent.

Let us all reflect on the journey and marvel over the work and creativity of our artists and models that marked 2020 & 2021. Our remarkable editorial that we have been so fortunate to collaborate with our artists and models as well as the extremely talented photographer, Greg Swales. This editorial clearly sets a tone for the new year to come, a rebirth for 2022.

I could not have asked for a better team to have shared this experience with, both this magazine as well as the journey over the past years. Let us remember those moments that made us stronger, wiser and more human.

I will personally remember all of those that stood by us through this roller coaster ride.

Antonella Mainella

Gravity The poem breaks down.

The day’s architecture collapses.

I am walking over words.

The longing for a hurricane of emotion to sweep the mind frames the body; I am made of sand.

Neither blue sky nor blue ocean tells the story at the end of the horizon when all that floats is a fiction of the eye.

Beyond the beyond imagination and knowledge finally come to the shore.

Identity is a bastard child; the parent of all tides.

It is the color of water hiding in the rose.

“Can we interview you for the Folio Magazine?”

“Why don’t I shoot the cover?”

“How many models?”

“Maybe around 10?”

“With all your artists. A full FOLIO team.”

“In one day?”

“Yes.”
