The creature

The exceptionality lies in everyday life. This is an aspect of beauty, says Ciro, author of the work we are presenting to you. The inspiration of his works is found in the discarded objects, because: discarded objects have the vocation of transforming themselves into something else … The artist wants to give them continuity over time, once their usefulness seems to have disappeared. With delicacy and tenderness, Ciro wants to save things that otherwise would not have the ability to resist the impact of consumption on their own.

The hoe is the key element of Ciro’s art. In the hoes the artist glimpses the figures and composes his works of them. As he explains: the fact that they are worn out brings them very close to the sensitivity of poverty.

LA CREATURA (THE CREATURE) is made of iron and raku.
