MELASE Sculture Vase Print

Twenty years ago, a spark lighted up his passion for serigraphy, an ancient and magic art which allowed him to express his point of view of the world and his sensitivity. Since then, he has never stopped experimenting and perfecting his technique, creating works of art of great beauty and meaning, which tell stories, emotions, ideas. Every work of art is the result of a transformation: he uses different materials, like paper, recycled wood, cement, skins of fruit and vegetables, and makes them unique, playing with shapes and colours, creating contrast and harmony. He doesn’t look for perfection, but he enhances the essence: the imperfections, the cracks and the chinks are the signs of time and of manual skills, which testify the uniqueness and the originality of every work of art. Every piece has their own identity card which proves its authenticity and its value, showing that time, work, care and passion are fundamental elements of art. He made Time his fellow: the time needed to think, to try, to make mistakes, to start again and to complete a work of art. The time needed to create a piece at a time, with the same care and attention. The time which makes a project grow and evolve, triggered by curiosity and challenge. In a world based on the digital, he made a choice which is against the tide: he chose to work with his hands, and not to fear scratches, splits and calluses. With hands which can give shape and life to raw materials and transform them into art. Amazingly imperfect.
