Mauro Corda is a sculptor of the body. His figurative and monumental sculptures question the notion of identity and the human body in its limit states. He uses a wide variety of materials such as bronze, aluminum, iron, stainless steel, steel, glass to achieve his life-size, universal works, free from all community inclinations. The human body is laid bare without concession. All the art of the sculptor lies in the surface work, from the carnal vibration to the coldness of the mechanical material. It is the art of modeling that mastering its relationship with light, gives life to sculpture.
Mauro Corda is an artist with a traditional training It allows him a real mastery of the classical technique. He is also a disruptive artist: his sculptures challenge our certainties.
“No a priori or moral prejudice, no repugnance or modesty can preside over beauty. Humans fascinate me, they are everywhere, in the form that God or Nature gave them, gestation as well as agony. How to express it? Whether it is the acid youth, the pulp of maturity, the exhaustion of senescence, the skeleton, always, is essential. It is the gallows of sculpture, giving the volume that underlies life … “.
“Hustle our usual perspectives, interrogate our certainties, question the apparently unchanging ways in our relations to others, to animality, to the wilderness”
