Matteo Mandelli

In the cracks of reality, meaning is born.

​

Art, to me, is a passage — a point of contact between what exists and what could be. I don’t offer answers, I spark questions.

Each work is an encounter, a suspended moment where fragility meets the boldness of introspection.

​

YOU is not just a name: it’s you, the observer, who completes the meaning.
I work with materials that change, that reflect time and space. Broken glass, plastic carried by human distraction, cut screens — every fracture is an opening, a possibility.
Provocation is not enough; I want to build.

​

The performative act is, for me, a manifesto of a collective need to look beyond — to turn thought into tangible experience, an invitation to interact with the world in a new and conscious way.

Art is never comfortable, but it is always necessary.

It asks us to choose, to take risks, to see ourselves reflected in the limit.

In your gaze, the artwork transforms — because it only truly exists through you
