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
