I am Maura Manfrin, aka MauMan, I live in Italy
in Azzano Decimo
I’m
a sculptor, I have developed my art indulging my creative nature, which is the
basis of my life. As a girl I started working with iron fascinated by the
paternal ability that forget it. I’ve
never stopped since.
I
“snooped” for several years in the artisan workshops and sculptors’ atelier to
catch their techniques and secrets. My works express fatigue. Sometimes they
start from a precise project, others times they slowly evolve.
Art
for me is the means to become aware of myself. I deal with issues such as
immigration, terrorism, the subjugation of women and the domination of
religion.
My
artistic production begins with artworks made of iron combined with wood,
characterized by linear and geometric shapes.
My
work evolves during a period of strong ferment focused on dualism and
self-seeking, through the experimentation of new materials that are colored
red, using cement and resinous plastics.
In
my works predominate fragmented, disoriented, pierced and opposing figures,
revealing a continuous internal struggle for their own salvation and
emancipation.
In
the last period I use clay combined with other materials that give to my work a
new expressive freedom.
Sharing
my passion with other artists would be a great honor and an incredible emotion.
