Statement
His research stems from a long period dedicated to the creation of site-specific installations. Based on the elements that naturally constitute an environment such as light, shadow, water or air, his installations aim to transform space into a place charged with multiple meanings.
Scognamiglio covers the territories of space and emotions. The symbolic universe created by the artist immerses the visitor in landscapes of deceleration and contemplation. Once this silence has been reached, it is possible to reflect on our own essence and look again at the invisible.

Como lo industrial se relaciona con lo orgánico y dialogan ambos universos. Piezas de niquel asemejan corales y a un universo marino representando el borde costero.
