Ícaro Maiterena’s pieces depict Earth and its expression. Like fossilised poems, they evoke telluric energy and the transmutation of metals, as well as mineral and organic elements. In short, they invoke fire, movement and Life.
Ícaro Maiterena is the winner of the 2022 Officine Saffi Award awarded by the Bruckner Foundation. He will be presenting a short film together with some of his pieces at Halles de la Fonderie.
Exhibition at Les Insolites gallery.
