Creative by nature
Where the grain of the wood decides the shape of the piece.
Sculptures by Damian Berrili — metal drawn into timber and resin, each form following the material it was cut from.
The Practice
In my artistic practice, I embark on a creative journey that involves the harmonious fusion of metal with the organic essence of wood and resin. I find inspiration in the inherent beauty of natural forms, allowing the unique shapes and contours of the wood to guide the creation of my sculptures. By carefully integrating metal into these organic pieces, I aim to strike a balance between the strength of metal and the raw, unrefined beauty of the wood. The natural shape of the wood becomes a guiding force, dictating the sculpture’s proportions and contributing to a seamless marriage of materials. This process not only honors the authenticity of each element but also invites viewers to appreciate the symbiotic relationship between mediums in a dynamic and captivating visual dialogue.
