Paolo Carraro Discusses Constructivist Reliefs and Sacred Geometry on Singulart

Italian artist Paolo Carraro has detailed his artistic evolution in an interview published on Singulart Magazine on October 2, 2026. Carraro, who studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London, has shifted from flat canvas to three-dimensional constructivist reliefs that engage with light and architectural space. He constructs multi-tiered surfaces using canvas and canvas board, physically building the lines of the Fibonacci ratio and the Divine Proportion. A key work, 'The Pleroma – The Symmetries of the Soul,' exemplifies this transition, featuring a sacred star polygon radiating from a central pentagram and two textured silver-white spheres. Carraro cites British constructivists Victor Pasmore and Mary Martin as influences, along with Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, and Vincent van Gogh, whose works he encountered firsthand in London. His practice is rooted in Theosophy, viewing light as a symbol of spirit and life force. He also incorporates crop circle formations, interpreting them as manifestations of cosmic order. Carraro's current work explores sculptural form and optical depth through layered planes with high-contrast complementary colors, such as violet to yellow. He aims to evoke inner stillness and interconnectedness, using mathematical precision as a framework for intuitive color expression. His profile on Singulart includes works like 'A PENTAGRAM IN PERSPECTIVE' and 'Crop circle with Pentagon & Hexagon.'
