AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This sculpture represents a powerful contemporary reinterpretation of the vanitas theme, filtered through the language of digital design and advanced manufacturing.
The skull, universal symbol of life's transience, is here transformed by Angelo Scardino into an organic and perforated—almost biological—structure that blends sculptural aesthetics, technology, and craftsmanship.
The surface is traversed by sinuous patterns and openings that lighten the form, creating a fascinating play of voids and solids, light and shadow.
Made from PLA and resin, the work stems from a hybrid process of digital modeling and manual intervention, making each piece unique and not replicable in exactly the same way.
The object engages perfectly with contemporary environments, collections of conceptual art, interior design, and exhibition spaces.
A work that speaks of time, memory and transformation, with a strong visual impact and a recognizable aesthetic.
Work in excellent condition.
Never exposed to the outdoors.

Directly from the artist.

Artwork signed by the artist.

The work will be professionally packaged with suitable materials to ensure maximum protection.

Angelo Scardino is an Italian contemporary artist who works across sculpture, design, and digital experimentation.
Their research focuses on the intersection of advanced manufacturing technologies and a conceptual reflection on the body, time, and the transformation of matter.
Through the use of digital modeling tools, 3D printing, and manual interventions, Scardino creates sculptural works characterized by organic forms, perforated structures, and complex surfaces, in which fullness and void interact dynamically.
The materials used, such as PLA and resin, become an integral part of the artistic language, contributing to a contemporary aesthetic that combines technological precision with artisanal sensitivity.
The theme of vanitas, fragility, and memory runs through many of his works, often reinterpreted through iconic symbols from the history of art, read in a contemporary key.
The result is a corpus of highly recognizable works, conceived for both exhibition contexts and for private collections and design environments.
Their works are aimed at an international audience interested in contemporary art, experimental sculpture, and the dialogue between art and technology.
