V E L E Sculpture

" Simply a craftsman. The fortune of doing the job I love, of working alongside architects,artists and true professionals in the sector, has given me the opportunity over the years to grow professionally and develop a passion for art. The porosity, the natural colourings, the ductility, the oxidation, are characteristics that have always fascinated me." Davide Foletti has emerged in the contemporary art scene thanks to his innovative interpretation of metal as a means of expression. A material usually perceived as cold and inert, thanks to his technical ability, he manages to instill emotion and concept, giving life to works of extraordinary visual and symbolic power. His metal sculptures are distinguished by their ability to transform metal into fluid and dynamic forms, almost as if to contrast the natural rigidity of the material itself. Whether it is the intensity of passion, the fragility of tears or the deep reflection on human thought, each of his creations is an emotional journey that speaks to the observer. His sculptures, although static in form, seem to move through time, as if to suggest that every moment, every emotion, is in constant evolution. His approach to sculpture is that of a craftsman who, with extreme mastery, works the metal to give it a new life. Every fold, every curve of his sculptures is designed to give a sense of movement and lightness, as if the metal were ready to take flight. The attention to detail, the precision of the forms and the refinement of the surface treatments are the signature of his work. With a contemporary approach, Davide Foletti has succeeded in taking metal sculpture to new heights, transforming metal into an artistic language that is not afraid to be sensitive and emotional.
