about<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”60″][az_column_text]I started using iron for work, not for passion. Passion grew with time. I found it when iron was still a workpiece for me. A number, a large container with a code, a plate, and sometimes a painting cycle. I was often taken aback looking at all those pieces that looked exactly the same… perfect, I\u2019d say, or better yet, conforming, as people would often tell me. They were so perfect and so alike that they had no soul. Designed to be used, not to be looked at, to be clean and not to be smelled. That\u2019s what it was all about. For me, iron smells of nostalgia and rusty iron, of history. I\u2019ve often found in the container of nonconformities \u2013 the one with the red plate, so clear and visible to be unbearable \u2013 a meaning. That\u2019s it! I am a nonconformity.
\nThat\u2019s how my story began. It all started with a piece of scrap… imagining and trying… making a lot of mistakes, perhaps too many, but never with a method.
\nMy education (I was never among the first 25 students of my form) was based on numbers, formulae, straight and parallel lines. It was consuming me a little at a time. Then, I started listening to the letters and the pieces of iron scrap. From that moment on, shaped iron (more often than not manually shaped iron) and letters have told and filled my days.[\/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”120″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row section_mode=”fluid” bgmode=”customimagebg” image=”114″ bgposition=”center center” bgrepeat=”stretch” sectionoverlayopacity=”0.70″ video_opacity_overlay=”0.70″][vc_column][az_blank_divider height_value=”700″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row sectionoverlayopacity=”0.70″ video_opacity_overlay=”0.70″ section_id=”project”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][az_blank_divider height_value=”90″][az_column_text]\n
