This three-dimensional sculpture was intricately woven with thin brass wires resulting in a striking organic and malleable shape. All techniques are hand-made, developed and perfected by Caio Marcolini.
Caio Marcolini has a rich background in design and goldsmithing. He has developed his own techniques for weaving thin metal wires into poetic and three-dimensional sculptures. It all happened quite naturally for this Brazilian artist who lives in Porto. “I believe the craft chose me in an ethereal kind of way.” Indeed, Caio creates without prior sketching. His craft requires patience and as he begins to weave a piece to life, he feels as if in a trance, connected to the wider universe. Inspired by organic and microscopic shapes and forms, Caio’s imposing pieces are more than sculptures – they are permanent investigations in the field of goldsmithing, design and contemporary art, fuelled by the continuous tensions between material and vision.
