Marino Piotti, aka Dean Marino, born in 1982, is an Italian sculptor-designer from Valtrompia. Since childhood he has a visceral relationship with the elements of his land. He creates sculptures with natural elements such as wood and iron, giving them a new life, while continually maintaining a strong link to his origins. His objective is to create an indispensable connection between man and nature. His mission is the regeneration of matter. The knots and natural scars are an emanation of the Wabi-sabi philosophy that envelops the sculpture Exhibitions: Palazzo Facchi " the dreamers " 2021 (Brescia) Valley inc. 2021 (Brescia) " Origins " 2022 (Brescia) " Contemporaneamente " 2023 (Brescia) " FuturaExpo 2023 " Brescia Permanent exhibition: " Alisani Bistrot") " Art Views" Cominelli1840 2024 " FuturaExpo 2025 " Used technique: Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means to heat with fire and sugi is cedar. In the West it is referred to as burnt wood cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but with an incorrect pronunciation. The character ban means " board ". By slightly carbonizing the wood surface without burning the entire piece, the wood becomes waterproof through carbonization and is therefore more resistant. It also protects against insects, in addition to making the wood fireproof. Philosophy: Wabi-sabi (侘寂) constitutes a Japanese worldview, or aesthetics, founded on acceptance of transience and imperfection of things. This vision, sometimes described as "beautiful imperfection, impermanence and incompleteness" derives from the Buddhist doctrine of anitya (impermanence).
