THINKING THE UNTHINKABLE: DONATO PICCOLO’S ART OF THE INVISIBLE
@donato_piccolo ’s art investigates various natural and emotional phenomena, often using technological and mechanical tools to create his works. Through a thorough study of human cognitive faculties, Piccolo’s art analyzes the perceptive aspects of the natural world. His artwork investigates natural, physical, biological, and scientific phenomena that are the basis of life, employing their emotional aspect as a tool.
In order to induce such a peculiar resonance phenomenon, most of the artist’s works combine two complementary and inseparable aspects: they are at the same time sculptures and machines, forms and processes. According to Donato Piccolo, this hybrid character constitutes the actual nature of “holistic art”: an art whose essential function is to explore “the incomprehensible mystery of the visible world.”

Through philosophy, technology, and artistic vision, Piccolo guides us through a world in constant transformation.
