Vera Vizzi"Sweetness" – Contemporary Pop Sculpture in Foam Clay and Enamel on Wood, 20222022
2022
About the Item
SWEETNESS is a contemporary pop sculpture by Vera Vizzi combining foam clay, enamel, acrylic markers and fir wood into a compact, whimsical composition. Measuring 18 × 18 × 13 cm, the piece features a conical form reminiscent of soft serve or pastry decoration, perched atop a textured pastel-pink base. The wooden surface is partially coated in dripping enamel and delicately illustrated with a stylised ribbon motif, introducing a narrative element that blurs the line between object and ornament.
Echoing the artist’s own statement—“If thoughts melt away, let us make rivulets of color, designs and ornaments to make our living more joyful”—SWEETNESS operates as both sculptural form and metaphor. This small-scale work reflects Vizzi’s broader investigation into materiality, memory and the emotional charge of visual symbols, positioned within a pop-surrealist sensibility. Its palette and texture lend it strong potential for interior display as an accent piece within contemporary design environments.

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.
