Embedded Sculptures

Matteo was born with a strong love for drawing and sculpting that he carried out without any former education. After finishing secondary school the artist attended university in Milan and in 1995 got his degree in Modern literature, with a graduation thesis on Art criticism. In his ongoing series entitled Extra Moenia, Matteo has completed nearly 100 incredible sculptures that appear to emerge and sink into the walls they adorn. The sculptures show the beautiful human body in a variety of poses.
