Zerbi

My artistic research starts from the distinctive characteristics of architecture and design to arrive at abstract dimensions free from functional contamination. The theme of my work oscillates between the concrete and the abstract, between rigid geometries and organic patterns with the aim of tracing an aesthetic suspended between reality and imagination I am currently working on a collection that includes iron structures, paintings and videos entirely made by me.

In my productions, both architectural and artistic, I have consistently explored the subtle line of separation that exists between the abstract and the concrete dimensions. This uncertain space forms the core of my research, a fertile territory brimming with potential where imagination and reality intertwine in a sinuous manner, maintaining an indefinite character and remaining open to a multitude of interpretations and unexpected developments. Through drawing, installations, and architecture, I aim to evoke a precise tension between abstraction and concreteness, functionality and form, organicity and geometry, in an effort to strike a balance between the immaterial realm of ideas and the tangibility of form. The concept of concrete abstraction signifies, for me, an exploration of new perspectives through which to perceive the world that surrounds us, free from contamination and conditioning. It is a quest for all encompassing artistic experiences, with the goal of bringing forth primal sensations and perceptions.
