Read MoreTeo Martino, born in 1990 in Ciriè and based in Lanzo Torinese, is one of the most promising figures in contemporary Italian sculpture. Self-taught, Martino discovered and refined his mastery of working with marble, a material he favors for its unique combination of strength and malleability, through which he reveals a sharp artistic sensitivity.
Martino's career took a decisive leap forward through his collaboration with acclaimed sculptor Fabio Viale, an experience that further refined his technique and deepened his understanding of marble as an expressive medium. Martino’s personal body of work, launched in 2022, is characterized by a hyperrealistic approach and the ability to transform everyday objects into marble sculptures that challenge and expand the viewer's visual and conceptual perceptions.
His work is fueled by a deep reflection on the relationship between humanity, material, and the environment, exploring themes of evolution, education, and spirituality. This artistic exploration received recognition with the Premio Arte Gold Plaque for Sculpture, awarded to him in 2023 by Cairo Editore at the Museo della Permanente in Milan, marking a pivotal moment in his artistic career.
Martino has exhibited in prestigious venues, including the Acquario Romano in Rome and the Fondazione Amleto Bertoni in Saluzzo, establishing himself as one of the most intriguing contemporary Italian sculptors. Through a constant dialogue with his chosen material, Martino positions himself as both a heir to and innovator of the great Italian sculptural tradition, with a vision aimed at the future of art and its ability to inspire and transform.
