My passion for wood grew with me since my early childhood, while watching my father working it: the way he liked to chose the piece, study and turning it into a finished object.
I decided to follow his steps and although today I can use more modern technyques, I still wonder how the bare material can hide beautiful shapes in it.
And this is what still thrills and pushes me to work each single piece: to reveal the secrets which it contains.
With my works, I want to enhance the beauty which Nature has left even in the smallest of its creatures.
I had the pleasure of following a “ visual “ visit through the rooms which housed the exhibition of the sculptor Manuele Urbinati from Gradara.
The sculptures that the artist has created are a passionate synthesis in his capability in blending together complex materials such as wood and metal.
Each work is an introspection and interpretation expressed with a wise and firm hand.
The warm colors of wood blend beautifully with metals, and together create effects and shades totally “ unexpected”.
The exhibition of Urbinati is a real pleasure to everyone who appreciates things “ well done “ and a venue I definitely suggest to visit.
