Pamono Luigi Mazzella, Ciborio, 1989, Bronze Sculpture> Abstraction

Neapolitan sculptor Luigi Mazzella expresses himself in bronze, wood, silver, ceramics, iron, and even lead. his latest, large and monumental works are made of lead, which is the element of the alchemist, which is transformed into gold at the end of the cognitive process, and of purification with the help of the philosopher’s stone that mutates vile metals into noble metal Lead therefore is intrinsically noble because it contains within itself the capacity for change, it is heavy but ductile, it glows with silvery, lunar and even warm reflections. Mazzella is a child of Southern Baroque, which in metamorphosis found the balance between human and natural, light and shadow, life and death, ephemeral and eternal, corruptible and incorruptible.
