Matteo Cascetti Discusses Abstraction, Ceramics, and Three Decades of Tattooing

In an interview with Singulart Magazine, Italian artist Matteo Cascetti shares insights into his exploration of abstraction. His goal is to transcend visible forms to encapsulate the essence of nature's energy, particularly evident in his series Necessary States and Light in Motion. Cascetti's artistic path was shaped by his childhood near a restoration workshop, prompting him to investigate various clays and firing techniques for his sculptures and vessels. With more than thirty years of tattooing under his belt, he perceives this art as a means of confession and trust. Residing in Italy, he appreciates classical art while embracing contemporary experimentation. His unfinished, sketch-like figures evoke movement and energy, aiming to elicit emotional reactions from viewers.
