Pino Vastarella - Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti

Pino Vastarella was born in Rome, where he lives and works. Architect, designer, stylist, painter and photographer, over the years he has traversed many forms of creative expression: from architectural design to furniture, from graphics to fashion, from painting to photography, from image publishing to reading performances. His path is a precise reflection of a personal history never completed and always aimed at reconciling ancient memories with new experiments. It is above all the search into matter—such as stone, marbles, jute—and into materials, often derived from everyday life, that initially pushes him toward an artistic form of material abstraction. The ongoing experimentation of these years makes his material journey meet figuration. Abstract shapes become defined, feeding the curiosity to compare himself in a search where the materials return to representations of bodies, faces, statues and especially architectures, a panorama of lived and torn reality. In this work the artist wanted to capture the classical harmony that shines through one of the world’s most famous architectures. Yet, through the material, he gives it a current and contemporary rendering, outside the usual schemes.
