"Before the Beginning"
Child with chandelier Lamp, by Marcantonio. White Painted Fiberglass Resin.
Maria Teresa style chandelier, 1 bulb.

I created "Before the Beginning", the child holding a small "Maria Teresa" style chandelier in his hands.
I consider it the most conceptual and intimate work of art I present.
The child carefully observes the reflections and the game of the crystals as a scientist studies the changing matter, as an artist observes reality and to understand it transforms it.
Like the Child I lose myself in the parallels that I find between the shape of the chandelier and the idea of an atom, a cell, the drops, water, life, birth, as if the child were holding up a small universe, a micro big-bang that contains itself and its origins, but also the origins of this poem, his one, which is born at this moment, Before the Beginning.

The sculpture was made with my hands with the techniques of classical sculpture, first in clay then molded and finally reproduced and retouched.

This Limited Edition comes to you with an Authenticity Certificate, signed by Marcantonio.

Dimensions L x W x H: 34 x 58 x 130 cm.

"I never give up irony, irony is a serious thing. If a good idea is also funny, I can't resist to realize it"

Marcantonio, born '76.
He attended the Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts.
As soon as he graduated, he began working as a theatrical set designer and collaborating with various architects.
Soon he started to create unique design pieces while working on an Artistic production. Step by step the two careers began to contaminate each other and his design gets enriched with artistic concepts.
Since 2001 he has been realizing sculptures, art objects and design projects.
The connections between Man and Nature are his favorite topic, with his original interpretation of Nature’s dynamics and beauties showing Man’s attitude to alter the original.
He learned from Art how an idea can be elegant, which is why he is always looking for pure and synthetic concepts.
 "I never give up irony, irony is a serious thing. If a good idea is also funny, I can't resist to realize it"
He loves the idea that his job is a continuation of what he used to do when he was a child: to play around with anything he found and to create what his mind imagined.
Nowadays, seeking the aesthetic component and the concept, he gets his ideas from the same sources he created when playing as a child, daydreaming with what is usually around him every day.
