The Processing Phases of the Works | bArtArt

This section collects the stages of the works’ production, illustrating the creative process before the final result. Here, the sculptures appear incomplete, essential, lacking definitive details, yet brimming with expressive potential. It is a space dedicated to the process, the raw material, and the decisions that transform an initial form into a finished work.

In the work in progress, clay, wood, and mixed materials reveal their most authentic nature. The surfaces are still irregular, the volumes evolving, the proportions in constant dialogue with the original idea. These images narrate the moment when the work is not yet bound by the final aesthetic, but retains a primitive and instinctive strength.

Observing the intermediate stages allows us to better understand the sculptural language, the technical choices, and the level of control achieved over detail. Each sculpture begins with a simple structure, which is progressively modified, engraved, and imbued with tension and meaning. This phase is where errors, corrections, and sudden insights emerge, fundamental elements of the creative process.

This page is designed for those who want to enter the artist’s studio and discover how contemporary sculptures take shape. The work in progress is not just a technical step, but an essential part of the work itself: a moment of unstable equilibrium between idea and material, where everything is still possible and every form tells its story.
