Marino Piotti, known as Dean Marino, born 1982, is an Italian sculptor-designer from Val Trompia. Since his youth he has a visceral relationship with the elements of his land. He creates sculptures with natural elements such as wood and iron, giving them new life, while maintaining a strong connection to his origins.
His objective is to create an indispensable connection between man and nature.
His mission is the regeneration of matter.
The knots and natural scars are an emanation of the Wabi-sabi philosophy that envelops the sculpture

Used technique:
Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation.
Yaki means to heat with fire and sugi is cedar. In the West it is referred to as charred wood cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but a misreading.
The character ban means "board".
By slightly carbonizing the surface of the wood without burning the entire piece, the wood becomes waterproof through carbonization and is therefore more resistant.
It also protects against insects, in addition to making the wood fire-resistant.
Philosophy:
Wabi-sabi (侘寂) constitutes a Japanese worldview, or aesthetics, based on accepting transience and imperfection of things. This view, sometimes described as "beautiful imperfection, impermanence and incompleteness" derives from the Buddhist doctrine of anitya (impermanence).
