Artist Statement
This wall sculpture pulls inspiration from ancient Roman cobblestone roads.
The 3D mosaic design is created by placing hundreds of parallelepiped squares of various sizes atop a wood back.
Afterward, three coats of epoxy resin mixed to a pure Ducat Gold pigment powder are used to coat the squares, welding and stiffening the piece and giving it a glamorous metallic shine.
The mosaic is composed with an irregular yet not random pattern, in order to imprint a movement that makes the design come to life.

Artist Profile
Born: 1966
Hometown: Rome
Based in: Rome
After attending the High School of Art I moved onto European Institute of Design in Rome and graduated in illustration.
I find inspiration for my artworks through a close, attentive look of nature.
I focus on a particular organic texture, wood, bark, vegetable, animal or the shape of a rock and I bring it in the circumscripted space of an artwork.
Sometimes city landscape as well offers me a suggestion, such as the uneven cobblestones of the city I live in or the fascination of a peeling crackle wall.
I like playing with patina on metal finishes, since the oxydation is always unpredictable and unique and gives distinctiveness to each piece.
Through my website I collaborate with collectionists, art consultants and interior designers, creating bespoke pieces of art custom designed for each project.
