Beppe Marchetti

Beppe Marchetti, born under the sign of Aries in Milan, the city where I studied, work, and still live today. In 2001 I encountered disability following a sporting accident; thus, life has changed, without buts and without ifs. And if we consider that I was born under a zodiac sign that cannot be kept still...

My new existence, version 2.0, has compelled me to engage in ceaseless introspection to adapt, revealing unexpected perspectives. Thus, I have revisited and freed my predispositions: from resuming the study of philosophy, to experimenting with painting and working with clay using the ancient Raku 楽焼 technique, and then dedicating myself to the art of Kintsugi 金継ぎ, making it a rule to understand my existence v. 2.0; lastly, seeking deep relaxation by playing the didgeridoo.

During my studies in moral philosophy, I intertwined my passion for art, immersed in reflections on the great themes of existence and knowledge. Over time, I felt the need to express these ideas not only through words but also with my hands and heart. Thus, my free spirit, until then repressed, found expression in the visual arts. In parallel with my studies, I embarked on an artistic journey, becoming a self-taught artist by choice. I explored painting, sculpture, and the fascinating world of ceramics, dedicating myself in particular to the Japanese techniques of raku, kintsugi, and kirinuki, which allowed me to give tangible form to my reflections, uniting thought and matter in works that convey the fragility and beauty of life. In each of my works, I strive to capture the delicate beauty of existence, blending philosophical reflections with an aesthetic that embraces imperfection and transience.
