Leonardo Chiari

Leonardo Chiari creates metal sculptures that merge traditional craftsmanship, drawing, and mechanical technology. Growing up in an environment surrounded by forges and steel, he learned to shape metal from an early age. His process moves from freehand sketches to laser cutting, resulting in works that balance functionality with sculptural form. Chiari’s practice is defined by a tension between strength and fragility, reflecting an ongoing engagement with the expressive possibilities of the material.
