“When matter leaves its functionality, it expresses its deep and vibrant nature Collection 'Incanto', fragments of Earth's mantle, witnesses of a timeless flow of art.”
ARTIST AND ENTREPRENEUR
Palmalisa comes from an Italian traditional family involved in stone carving for generations.
Her work permits her to travel the world in search of stones with which to create
customized projects for Architecture and Collectible Design.
Through daily observation, she begins to evaluate the material with a new sensitivity, that takes her towards an unprecedented passage, the experimental and artistic one that takes shape in "Incanto, a collection of different geological stone sculptures in which the
essence is the material itself.
“INCANTO”: THE MATERIAL IS ALIVE
“When I began to look at the raw material, from an informal and active point of view, I perceived the enormous creative project that pervades everything and how much the material is alive and vibrant.
In the initial approach to the project, I started from a classical idea to achieve something by applying a thought and a form; as I worked the stone I realized that thought became weaker and weaker compared to the infinite languages that it could express, including the invitation to suspend the rational form, thereby leaving room for other forms.
I learned to approach the stone through attentive listening, ready to capture expressions barely hinted as indications of a path yet to be delineated which emerge through small processes, subtractions, imperceptible cuts, or the reverberation of light.
I look for that magical moment that can be called soul-vibration-magic-life-... what is
“Incanto”.
... that moment that has always imprinted the ability to link cultures and distant worlds in a single universal language.”
