Stephen Puzzuli
Wood, memory, metamorphosis
Stefano Puzzuoli is an Italian sculptor who transforms fragments of forgotten nature into objects full of poetry and memory. His wooden vases, made from felled trunks, prunings or wood destined for the fire, are living works: small three-dimensional haiku that speak of time, transformation and imperfect beauty.
Sculptures born from the forest
His creative process begins in the woods of Tuscany, where he personally collects each piece, guided by instinct and observation. Each trunk, marked by mushrooms, moss or insects, is chosen for its invisible history. The artist does not impose forms, but listens to them emerge: veins, cracks, organic traces become protagonists.
An aesthetics of authenticity
The vases are not functional objects, but containers of experiences. Compact or fractured, smooth or furrowed by deep cracks, they reveal a unique relationship between matter and gesture, interior and exterior, life and memory. Imperfections are not erased, but exalted as precious signs of time.
Artist's Manifesto
“My job is to listen to the wood. I don’t transform it: I give it a voice.”
