Giacomo Bevanati became a wire sculptor before even knowing that wire art existed. While studying for his bachelor degree in Product Design, he had to make a 3D lamp for an exam. He did some research on materials and chose wire for it flexibility, finding that it was just perfect for obtaining both transparency and plasticity. Captivated by the material, Giacomo started experimenting, and, free of any influence, he developed his own wire stitching technique. This resulted in his current production of handwoven artworks made from wire. Giacomo's masks and other wearable items are often used for fashion shoots or shows. His materials – mostly steel and brass – are shiny, but not noble: “I love the idea that they are transformed into something precious by my work, dedication and commitment,” he says.
