Drawn in the air with one single wire
Fish, figures, animals and boats, each made from one continuous piece of wire, bent by hand. Light, minimal and full of movement.

Twenty years of matter
Clay, metal mesh, wood, tufo stone and concrete: the sculptures that came before the wire, from the first faces in clay to concrete chess sets and skulls.
About
The sculptor
I am Italian, born in Vicenza, currently residing in Thessaloniki. My focus of interest in art is specifically sculpture, for fun and also to explore materials and techniques.
In the last few years I have been focusing on wire art, with small figures made from a single wire – pretty much like drawing in the air.
Animals, vegetables, the human body, the sea and its inhabitants (both above it and in it) are the themes I prefer.
