Artwork description:

CASCATA, made with eroded bronze and aluminum sheets, stands out for its strong visual dynamism and its ability to evoke the fluidity of water through the rigidity of the metal.
The most fascinating element of the work is the visual effect of erosion, which transforms the metal into a vibrant and almost liquid surface. The two vertical elements - one in gilded bronze and the other in silvered aluminum - seem to dialogue with each other, creating a material and chromatic contrast that accentuates the perception of movement.
The matte black background enhances the brilliance of the eroded surfaces, allowing the light to play with the textures and generate changing reflections. The burnished bronze frame, with its warm, earthy finish, adds an additional level of depth and sophistication to the work.
The composition recalls the idea of ​​a stylized waterfall, where the metal, usually rigid and static, is transformed into a fluid and dynamic element. This contrast between material and form generates a visual tension that captures the viewer's attention, inviting him to explore the surface of the work with his gaze.
The use of two different metals also suggests a reflection on dualism: gold and silver, heat and coldness, solidity and fluidity, in a perfectly harmonious balance. The erosion of the slabs thus becomes a metaphor for the transformation and passage of time, where the material is consumed but at the same time is renewed in a new artistic form.
CASCATA is a powerful and elegant work, which plays with the contrasts between matter, light and movement to create a visual and symbolic effect of great impact.
