\nThe artist proposes a portion of an angelic figure that leads the author to reflect on the love of those who are no longer with us. It is to all those who put the heart before interest that the work is dedicated.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>In his sculpture, the author imagines a tragic news story discovered at the bottom of the sea (or perhaps in a modest country bakery) and seen with an ironic gaze, designed to exorcise fear while not distracting the passer-by.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Born in the deep sea, a mermaid rises to the surface, attracted by the swarming of human life. It is a moment: her long tail disappears to give way to two endless legs.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>With this shape and these lines, that originate from a steel core, the artist creates a positive energy creeping into us and kindly driving us in the process of becoming.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The artwork is a seascape that, with the four symbols of the sun, the sea, the palm and the boat, underlines the ancestral relationship with the landscapes in Southern Italy and those places where the artist was raised.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2014<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nWith his sculpture, the artist wished to create lines of force and synthetic levels, imparting to the form the movement typical of futuristic dynamics, allocating them to a timeless dimension.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to the artist\u2019s intentions, the completed form emerges from the rock that inspired it. Immersed in the context of the marina, it lives opposite the light.<\/p>\n
\nInspired by Mondrian, the artist, with his lines, planes, volumes, and geometries, wanted to investigate the spaces that in stone are articulated in solids and voids, in light and dark and in various backgrounds.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist, who arrived in Caorle with another project, after visiting the little church of the Angel, felt almost compelled to give the rocks the form of the Madonna whose mantle protects the town from the rush of the sea.<\/p>\n
\nThe sculptor, also known as a famous flautist, wanted with this rock to create a link between music and the sea, so as to unveil some of their mysteries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2012<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nBy proposing the aspects of the earth, sea and sky, the artist wanted to create a primordial form that praises the peace and harmony between the elements of nature.<\/p>\n
\nWith Embryo, the artist has captured the moment in which the sculpture detaches itself from the matrix and at the same time is sucked into it by an incessant change that is necessary for life.<\/p>\n
\nWith the representation of the three moons, the artist wanted to bring to life in stone the inner experience of an astonished soul in front of our sea.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2010<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nFrom the last offshoot of land, man has always pushed towards the sea, a perpetual symbol of the unknown. In this block, the artist represents the exchange of struggle between man and sea. It is a homage to Caorle, from where, while the sculptor was creating, he imagined his own land, Istria, another \u2018finis terrae\u2019, beyond the Gulf of Trieste.<\/p>\n
\nCountless species of living beings are victims of ecological catastrophes and man\u2019s selfishness. From this consideration, in the work an ancient nautilus re-emerges from the darkness as a warning and testimony of what man, consciously and unconsciously, causes to nature.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist used a boat as the starting point for his artistic idea. The boat is a symbol of the journey, mobility, and the search for truth.
\nThe journey is always unpredictable and through the shape of his sculpture and the various textures, the artist tries to represent the intimacy of each of us towards the directions our lives can take.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist ponders the why of things, the succession of negative events before the universal, chaotic catastrophe. Ronzat\u2019s sculpture is a positive warning for the preservation of the historical and rural environment of Caorle, crossed by the flight of seagulls towards infinity. It is an interpretation with a strong environmental impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2008<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nIn this work, the stone suggests a female form (almost a symbol of the artist\u2019s work), where its organic essence is nourished by the proximity of the sea and its femininity by the warmth of the sun.<\/p>\n
\nIn sculpture, the confrontation between form and non-form is perceived, until the different is transformed into a media reality with reversed poles and life bursts from the earth into infinity.<\/p>\n
\nThe sculpture is a shell designed for water as a symbol of life. Inside, a sculpted cushion fills with air and vital energy and invites passers-by to sit and meditate. Here the \u2018shell\u2019 waits for the waves to cover it, as if to repossess the primordial form they generated.<\/p>\n
\nThe figure evoked by the sculpture has a broad forehead, an enigmatic gaze with sunken eye sockets and soul-like hair. This figure, subtending arcane presences, projects itself as a guardian of time, bearing witness to the present.<\/p>\n
\nThe lighthouse has always been a testimony to seafarers, but here it becomes alive and therefore in need of shelter. Hence the creation of a mooring, a bollard for the lighthouse, in a kind of thanksgiving for its existence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2006<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nWith this work, the artist wanted to take us back to the majesty of nature, evoked by the scents of bivouacs, images of burning fires and the lives of migrant peoples.<\/p>\n
\nThe sculpture, inspired by paintings from his geometric period, presents some movements, contrasts and undulations obtained in the rock with skilful texturing. Between stepped polishings and bush-hammering, the sculpture recalls the waves and ripples of the sea, marked by geometric rhythm.<\/p>\n
\nHere the artist recalls the art of the Etruscans mediated by her love of classical literature and the sensitivity of a woman of our time. The sun and the moon, lovers since time immemorial, chase each other across the sky until they meet, and they discreetly eclipse the light.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist\u2019s work is a story of memories, where signs are transformed into symbols, breaking down the barriers between the figurative and the abstract, between matter and spirit, between sacred art and the sacred conception of art.<\/p>\n
\nThe young Slovenian artist wanted to create an optical representation of the stormy sea with the movement of the waves and the reflection of the sun on the water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2004<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nAs a link between the sea, the land and the celestial sphere, this work, composed of circular shapes, gives rise to an open ellipse containing nine points of the constellation Pisces. At the top a spiral symbolizes the perennial water cycle.<\/p>\n
\nIn this work, the author evokes the mythological figures of the Gorgons, monstrous looking, with snakes for hair who turned anyone who looks directly into their eyes to stone. But, in the author\u2019s interpretation, the petrification of the gaze is not matched by the end.<\/p>\n
\nIn the soft crumpling of the stone, the artist wanted to create a kind of skin for the stone itself, thus evoking an organic event for a stone that wants to live.<\/p>\n
\nThe sculpture represents the flight of a fossil in the act of returning to new light: a metaphor for the upward aspiration of spirituality and transcendence.<\/p>\n
\nIn this work, the artist has created a linear cut that corresponds to a kind of ancient moulding on the flat gable. In his vision, the wall-rock can also be understood as a temple.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2003<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nCombining the ancestral art of his homeland (Zimbabwe) with Western taste, the artist has managed to draw from the rock a solid family where love develops in a succession of intertwined and yet continuous signs.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist has chosen the largest rock to give that perception of serenity to his two prone figures (lovers) lapped by the waves of the sea: some waves that form far away and unknown break on the shoreline.<\/p>\n
\nIn this stone, the artist has unearthed fossils, as if they had been enclosed by the unequal passage of time, giving us the memory of fragments of a distant everyday life.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist draws the space into a harmonious form, in a simple but intense movement, reducing mass, increasing the play of light and gradually releasing the various descriptive planes until it becomes a pure acronym.<\/p>\n
\nThinking about concepts such as time and the human being, the artist has created a bas-relief of an exhausting race in his rock, a metaphor for man\u2019s journey, obliged to make the difficult attempt to pass through the gates of perception in order to find himself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2002<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nWell-known in France for the plasticity of her sculptural interventions, the artist wanted to create a \u2018seated woman\u2019, where the voluptuousness of the form, almost cast from rock, represents the loving embrace of all mankind since the beginning of time.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist wanted to pay homage to the city of Caorle by giving it one of its symbols, \u2018the caorlina\u2019. A rediscovered caorlina, almost an archaeological find, imaginative, where the exact shapes are transfigured by the artist\u2019s mastery.<\/p>\n
\nThe artist has thought of a \u2018living\u2019 subject, momentarily slumbering in a pose to be respected. And who more than a child can be embraced by the love of the cliff, by which it seems to be held. And the sculpture, punctilious, exact, almost maniacal is now part of a whole to which it will be bound in the course of time.<\/p>\n
\nBy creating a synthesis between humanity and technique and giving a positive meaning to our insecurities, the artist has created a \u2018bi-lite\u2019, which almost confronts and divides, but which is held in an embrace, symbolizing the reality we all experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>2001<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nThe artist develops an investigation aimed at recovering archaic societies, transferring them into a sort of morse language of lines and dots, reminiscent of a computer screen. Technical Language\u2019 is the title of this work divided into two parts, almost as if one were a repetition of the other.<\/p>\n
\nIn a play of positives-negatives, of shadows and light, the artist has given life to the material by creating a soft body \u2013 \u2018Radici\u2019 (Roots) \u2013 caught in a languid awakening, exuding a femininity indifferent to the gaze, because she herself is lost in the wonder of the infinite. And this illusion is given shape by the perfection of the lines and the strength of the signs, never casual.<\/p>\n
\nIn his monolith, entitled \u2018Celestial Stele\u2019, the artist has fused the ancestral, the magical and the archaic with the oldest tradition of human thought and art. In fact, the subject matter is reminiscent of archaeological finds from civilizations that have not yet been deciphered.<\/p>\n
\nThe sculpture almost seems to come naturally out of the rock that enclosed it. And even this apparent ease is characterised by a complexity of elements, combining form and light, geometry, and poetry in a direct relationship.<\/p>\n
\nAlways interested in man, his feelings and passions, the artist seeks what lies beyond. In her figure, entitled \u2018Pensiero\u2019 (Thought), lost in the timelessness of nature, she wanted to convey the fascination of the Medusa, herself petrified by beauty.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
