Valeria Vaccaro is a young sculptor from Turin, fascinated by fire and its symbolic, alchemical, and primordial significance, as well as its purifying power. Fire transforms everything, even marble—the material the artist has chosen as her expressive weapon—shaping it to resemble wood, charred and blackened by flames. Entirely built on contrasts between heavy and light, eternal and ephemeral, precious and ordinary, Valeria Vaccaro’s work confronts us with the uncertainty of our time. An elegant and impeccably executed body of work in which the quintessential material of sculpture becomes a symbol of the liquid society that defines us.
