Artist Statement
Hand-crafted wall sculpture molded with cellulose on a wooden support.
The design follows a fluid shape inspired by organic textures observed in nature.
Once dry, the modeling is impregnated with epoxy resin and completely covered with gold leaf. Jewish bitumen has been used over the metal leaf to give the relief an ancient distressed look, warming up the overall shade of gold at the same time.
A coat of shellac protects the surface from dust and oxidation.

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.
