NADIA CASCINI ART

SCULPTURES

KINTSUGI – SOUND

Nadia Cascini’s first sculpture series

My first art language, as the daughter of craftsman goldsmiths, was that of precious metals, of matter being transformed: from raw to shiny, drawn, engraved, chiseled.
Through my studies I learned to recognize invisible details, to sculpt the balance between form and meaning.
From this life experience I bring with me precision, respect for what is small and precious.

FROM THE BRONZE

Kintsugi Sound, my first sculpture cycle, was born from this.

The hand-perforated butterflies that inhabit these violets are not just decorative elements: they are traces, reminiscences, recurring forms in my workshop sketches, light symbols of metamorphosis that fit into a larger material, and contrast with it.
Like precious stones in jewelry.
Thus the violet becomes the body and symbol of a universal language: music. Crossed by golden lines inspired by the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi, it bears the marks of fracture as part of its own voice.
The sound exists overbearingly in the tension of the stylized form, in the light that pierces the void, in the imperfections that repair themselves.
