"Milano" photograph with Giorgio Armani and Lauren Hutton by Monty Shadow - 1989, Italy.

This shot captures late Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna. Born in Sao Paulo on March 21, 1960, many consider "magic" Senna to be the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time.

Monty Shadow is a photographer, a creative and, above all, a luxury brand communications consultant. His world is one in which luxury meets sport, fashion and lifestyle. Thanks to his personality he has built great relationships with big names and celebrities and has shared unique moments with them.

His deep friendship with Ayrton Senna stands out. Monty spent some of the happiest times of his life with the late racing driver. The photographs from this exhibition recount the time he spent as Ayrton's friend and travel companion and bring to light some of the great memories made around the world.

This is a slice of personal life that shows the greatness of a man in private moments, revealing how the legendary racing driver was a simple but exceptional human being.

The Cause

St. Moritz Art Masters aims to encourage a culture in which the love of art, design, photography and travel come together to enrich the lives of people.

Located on the southern slope of the Swiss Alps, at 1,800 meters above sea level, you might say that St. Moritz sits at the top of Europe. The Engadine region, with its unrivalled lake landscapes, is known throughout the world as the "Festival Hall of the Alps", a truly special place. Here the great Alberto Giacometti loved to take a long walk every day and here remains the creative legacy of the many artists who have left indelible traces.

The St. Moritz Art Masters Foundation (SAM Foundation) was founded in 2009 by the founders of St. Moritz Art Masters.

The Foundation supports and promotes projects by exceptional national and international emerging artists with a particular focus on the global "language" of culture. The selected artists and projects will be showcased during the St. Moritz Art Masters and will have the chance to take advantage of the platform's network.

St. Moritz Art Masters Foundation welcomes donations that can go towards establishing and further developing the goals and projects of the foundation. The Foundation is closely linked to the annual SAM event held in the Engadine region.
