Maurizio Giuseppe Sergiusti

I am Maurizio Sergiusti, known as Scoobafish, a self-taught Italian artist whose conceptual works boldly tackle themes of ecology, waste, and recycling. Through the use of discarded materials, I offer a powerful critique of the excessive consumption that characterizes modern society.

The objects I use are often found in the environment, abandoned in illegal landfills, washed ashore, or simply destined for the dump. These humble materials, in my hands, are transformed into figurative sculptures, installations, and mixed media works of great visual impact.

Through my works, sometimes reworkings of historicized pieces and sometimes products of my imagination, I invite viewers to see the beauty and potential in what the world has abandoned, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary. My art challenges our relationship with consumption while celebrating the possibility of creative regeneration.
