Cretto Artwork

My work begins where boundaries dissolve. I use organic and reclaimed materials -paper, rope, pigments, resin, even fire -to shape forms that feel at once fragile and enduring. Each piece carries a memory of nature’s intelligence and the human desire for connection. The Hug Me series grew from a need for closeness in a world of distance. The Confini works explore borders -geographic, emotional, spiritual -and what it means to cross or soften them. And Acupuncture for the Planet is my call to treat Earth itself as a living body, one that requires care and attention. I believe art is not an object to possess but an experience to share. Collecting a work means becoming part of this dialogue, between humanity and nature, between presence and memory, between what we hold onto and what we must release.
