About Alberto Criscione

I was born in south Sicily in the spring of 1981. The sea, the sun and the earth of this land have been a nourishment for my soul since childhood. My earliest memories belong to pencils, paints and clay, that I used to handle in my father’s workshop. At that time I was thinking that I would give up on those games very soon, but then I realized that creativity is just a game of forms and expressions. I was a teenager when I started to create little worlds made of clay and paper. My apprenticeship at the workshop started in 1995 through 2002. In those years I learned the sculpture technique from my father Giuseppe (cribs maker and skillful narrator of Sicilian culture). After learning the ropes, I started experimenting using my personal language.
