Simo Arshara
Art and Sound
The Full Story
On the documents I'm Simona Cerri, but my stage name is Simo Arshara.
I have explored all that is creativity and expression of the Soul in different artistic fields: jewel design, painting, writing, photography, digital art, music, video... and I still continue to play and have fun!
For several years, as a filmmaker, I have made a lot of music videos, short films and videos for theater and dance taking care of all stages from conception to release: directing, shooting, editing, post-production.
Since 2020 I decided to take a break and listen more to the voice of my soul by devoting myself to personal passions and projects: experimental photography, ambient music production and digital art.
Music, in particular has always been an instinctive call that has guided me to create sound compositions despite having no conventional musical training or qualifications. A love for the sounds of different world cultures, the beauty of nature and the inner quest are the inspiring elements of my compositions. This passion led me spontaneously to the World of Sounds and Frequencies of well-being generated by the Voice and ancestral instruments including Gongs, Tibetan Bells and Shamanic Drum, and to the natural fusion of this practice with other energy balancing techniques learned over the years.
I am part of OROSONORO a team of sound practitioners whose vision is to bring harmony and well-being through the transformative frequencies of sound.
WORKS
BOOKS//
In 2013, together with Arkaura Margherita Lacqua, I wrote the novel Verso Uno, a magical journey to discover one's talents.
You can find the book in major online stores.
With Arkaura, sister of soul, I have been collaborating synergistically since 1987, and now we are at work again with a project of guided meditations that will see the light of day by the end of 2024.

MARTIN CLUNES FAN ART PROJECT/
Digital art is my new revelation and the meeting point of photography, art and inspiration.
I have been playing with Adobe Photoshop for many years, but only since 2021, thanks to a synchronic encounter, have I decided to deepen my study of the software to improve myself and shape new visions.
In 2021, thanks to the TV series Doc Martin, I discovered Martin Clunes and his whole world!
Films, documentaries, activities, charity, animals, family and a lifestyle connected to nature. ... and I became a big fan of the fantastic British actor!
So, for fun and for study, I started making these works following my own inspiration and vision, and I had so much fun that it became a serious art project!
Thank you Martin! You gave me the push I needed to seriously study Photoshop!
WORKS
PHOTOGRAPHY//
Capturing instants of beauty and turning them into art, that to me is photography.
I observe, listen, wait and play with my surroundings.
My favorite subjects are wherever I place my gaze.
Sometimes I walk aimlessly with my camera and let myself be attracted by the beauty hidden in small things, the majesty of open spaces or the wonder of the colors of the chasing seasons. Other times, however, I just want to pursue the shapes, curves, and architecture, simply capturing the moment in a shot.
But the shot is only the first step in the creative process; it is the raw material to be shaped. I am not a purist. I love post-production, manipulation, I love experimenting, transforming and sometimes twisting, until I get an image that can excite and amaze me.
