About the Item
Large Pre Columbian style clay, terracotta sculpture
Limited Edition 6/30, signed.
Walter Bastianetto, was born in Venice Italy. He graduate of the Ca' Foscari University of Architecture in Venice; He participated in various art and sculpture workshops in his native country and in Mexico.
He has exhibited his sculptural work in numerous solo and group exhibitions since 1974, in Europe, the United States, and Mexico. He undertakes his first trip to Mexico in 1976. The ancient cultures of this country captivate his spirit to such a degree that he decides to fully immerse himself in its cosmogony, dazzled mainly by the Aztec and Mayan culture. His work is lost in the labyrinth of life, mythology and pre-Hispanic religion to capture the essence of his worldview and allows contemporary characters and stories trapped in terracotta, resin and bronze, come to life.
“As an artist I am simply a simplifier of the explanation of a myth of the past and I try to capture and interpret human nature with divine exaltations, I try to make the ancestral spirit and matter stop with the language of art.”
