Techniques

The origins of metallurgy are rooted in myth.

"I continue to learn and try my hand at different sculptural and pictorial techniques on metals which, among all known materials, and even now, after thousands of years, have the highest expressive power that is still to be explored". A.R.

Metalworking techniques have very ancient roots, to the point that historical investigation seems to vanish into the fog of time. Many peoples of all origins used them to make tools, objects for decoration and ritual use. Alessandro Rametta seizes the legacy of this millenary tradition.

He undertakes, at first, to learn its secrets; then, he gives his personal touch to these techniques using the language of contemporary aesthetics, to renew them and find out groundbreaking solutions.
