15th International Friuli Venezia Giulia Stone Sculpture Symposium
Pietra Piasentina
The Artwork
The work is a dance between the artist and the stone, which at times allows itself to be guided and at times guides the hand that shapes it.
The warmth and sinuosity of the forms tell a personal story, where openings become windows through which to look at one’s dreams — reminding us to follow them and strive to achieve them.
The abstract content is expressed through essential volumes, where fluid yet sharp lines define the smooth outer surfaces in contrast with the intensely scratched inner ones.
