This sculpture, created in the 1990s by the Mantuan artist Aldo Guarnieri, captures the spirit of the avant-garde art of its time. with his mixed technique on wood, Guarnieri manages to infuse the material with a sense of movement and depth. The surface, perforated by a series of regular holes, invites the viewer to explore the work not only with their eyes but also with their imagination, suggesting a dialogue between fullness and emptiness, between what is present and what is absent.
The black metal stand supporting the sculpture adds an elegant and sober contrast, elevating the entire composition and giving it a discreet but powerful monumentality. This base is not only functional but becomes an integral part of the work, uniting the geometric rigor of the metal structure with the organic vitality of the wood.
The piece seems to breathe, to live on its own, as if the holes in the surface were eyes through which the sculpture observes the world, or mouths whispering secrets. There is a raw beauty in this creation, a balance between the artificial and the natural, that recalls the deep roots of Italian art, but with a contemporary and universal language.
Through this sculpture, Guarnieri captures the essence of the material, transforming a simple piece of wood into a work of art that transcends time and space, offering the observer a window into a world made of perceptions and intimate reflections.
