About the Item
“Diventa” is a contemporary wall-mounted mixed media sculpture by Italian artist Vera Vizzi, exploring the emotional pull between longing and levity. Composed on a 30 cm circular fir wood base, the piece presents a heart-shaped balloon made of foam clay and enamel, floating against a dual-tone background: vivid pink above and a textured grey surface below. The tiny miniature human figure, sculpted in resin and connected by a fine copper wire, adds a narrative tension—caught between gravity and sentiment, reality and imagination.
The title Diventa ("Become") and the painted inscription quoting The Sword in the Stone—
“Merlin: You see young man, this business of love — it's a most powerful thing!”
“Arthur: Stronger than gravity?”
—introduce a conceptual layer of ironic tenderness. The visual minimalism echoes pop and surrealist sensibilities, while the delicate figuration invites the viewer to reflect on vulnerability, connection, and symbolic elevation.
This small-format sculptural wall piece brings together enamel gloss, acrylic texture and figurative storytelling into a work suitable for design-forward interiors and collectors seeking emotionally charged, thought-provoking contemporary objects.

Vera Vizzi
Vera Vizzi (Milan, 1983) is an Italian artist working across painting and sculpture, blending materials and formats to create hybrid, tactile objects. With a background in Communication Design from the Politecnico di Milano, she transitioned from digital graphics to a fully manual, material-driven practice that prioritizes gesture, texture and symbolic resonance. Her work often takes the form of wall-mounted reliefs or compact sculptural volumes, where colour, surface and miniature figures coexist in compositions that evoke emotional, poetic and metaphysical layers.Rooted in a personal yet universal iconography, Vizzi’s pieces explore themes such as memory, perception and the paradoxes of human experience. Her distinctive visual language—at once playful and introspective—invites the viewer into suspended spaces that suggest both intimacy and distance. She lives and works in Milan and exhibits internationally through Casa das Peritas

Miniature Boat at Abstract Sculptural Sea. Mixed Media Wall Sculpture, 2024
By Vera Vizzi
Located in FISTERRA, ES
This evocative wall sculpture by Vera Vizzi, titled VITA, forms part of the artist’s ongoing exploration of maritime themes and human vulnerability. Crafted in mixed media on reclaimed wood, the piece presents a poetic seascape made of three stacked wooden blocks, each painted in shifting shades of deep blue and stormy grey to evoke a layered oceanic horizon. Atop the highest block sits a delicate miniature boat with small figures, amplifying the sense of fragility and scale.
The composition recalls coastal environments and states of emotional suspension—between movement and stillness, presence and absence. The textured surfaces and chromatic modulation suggest tides, foam, and sediment, while the figurative element introduces a narrative of journey, survival, or return. Like much of Vizzi’s work, VITA resonates with themes of resilience, the pull of memory, and our longing for connection with the sea.
This one-of-a-kind sculpture belongs to the artist’s new 2024 collection and is ready to hang. Ideal for collectors interested in contemporary marine art, mixed media assemblage, or metaphorical sculpture.
