Marcantonio

Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, born in 1976 in Massa Lombarda (Ravenna) but resident in Cesena for many years, is an artist and designer trained at the Severini Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts of Ravenna: an artistic path that has influenced his approach to design, where the creative aspect and that of industrial production continually intertwine. Fundamental elements of Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba's stylistic language are irony and nature: two protagonists of his imaginative universe populated by fantastic, dreamlike, extravagant and surreal creatures. The relationship between man and nature is one of the most recurring themes in his work, which is accentuated in particular when he works on sculptural works, be it large creations such as the gigantic giraffes in the self-produced collection She's in Love but She doesn' don't know it yet, or whether it's small objects like the famous Monkey Lamp and Mouse Lamp made for Seletti.
