Sebastiano Sofia: Hybrid Sculptures and a New Cover for Artribune Magazine

Sebastiano Sofia, an Italian artist, creates hybrid sculptures from found materials like palm trunks and waste, exploring the indistinction between natural and artificial. His works, described as 'landscapes in transition,' combine objects at various stages of creation. Sofia recently completed a residency at the Maraya Art Centre in Sharjah, UAE, culminating in a solo exhibition. He created a new image for the cover of Artribune Magazine #46, featuring concrete slabs suggesting indefinite, unnatural bodies. Sofia cites influences from Basquiat and Picasso's sculptures, and aims to create works between sculpture and painting. He reads Albert Camus and Eugenio Montale, and lists films by Terrence Malick, Benh Zeitlin, and Carlos Reygadas. The interview was conducted by Daniele Perra.
