Ilario Massetti

Born in 1961 in Milan.

I live and work in Turin.

Self-taught.

I am particularly attracted by the Shape: the shape of things, the body, the volume, that I try to reproduce, in their details or synthetically or in an abstract manner: either by means of a pencil or a pen that, through the chiaroscuro, the shades of gray or nuances of colour, allow me to recreate their volume and their structure; or by manipulating and modelling simple and of common use materials, sometimes unusual, in a creative process that can also be a real challenge to find a personal way to use them.
