MATERIAL AND ELEMENTS 

​

Metal is one of those materials which more than others allows you to give shape to ideas.  Connection with the elements is basic when it comes to my objects being born.  The principle element is earth, from which metal originates.   The natural world around us is a source of inspiration for new techniques and new objects to be shaped.  The earth has, over the centuries, already sculptured the most beautiful works of art. The second element is fire which governs metal.  Over time I have come to understand that fire is never my servant.  You can think that you dominate it, but in reality you never have full control over it.  So fire contributes to the creation of objects as if it were a co-artist.   The concept of the elements, the precious metals, techniques from the past and the search for new ones give the creation all the subtleties it requires.  This is the essence of Dal Furlo.
