Myths, divinities, superheroes. A dialogue with sculptor Filippo Tincolini

Alice Barontini, Espoarte, September 9, 2024

Espoarte meets Filippo at Fantiscritti, in his studio-laboratory at the foot of the Carrara marble quarries, where mechanical arms of robots and sophisticated 3D scanners surprisingly coexist with lime, chisels and myriad traditional tools. Filippo Tincolini, a contemporary Italian sculptor, blends classical and modern influences in his marble sculptures, often exploring themes such as consumerism, mythology and technology. Working in his studio at the foot of the Carrara marble quarries, Tincolini uses both traditional tools and advanced robotic techniques to create his works. His sculptures combine ancient references with contemporary images, giving rise to symbolic and surreal works that invite multiple interpretations. Among the most important projects are "Spaceman Shine," an installation in Capri, and his next exhibition "Human Connections" in Pietrasanta in 2025. Tincolini’s art reflects a balance between tradition and innovation.
