Fabrizio Corneli

Fabrizio Corneli, an artist renowned for his mastery of light and shadow, was born in Florence, Italy, where he developed an early fascination with the interplay between light and form. A graduate of fine arts, Corneli’s expressive language is deeply rooted in the transformative power of light, artificial aswell as sunlight, employing it as both medium and subject in his artistic practice.
Corneli’s work explores the dynamic relationship between light, shadow, and space, using surprising effects of refraction, decomposition, and anamorphosis to immerse viewers in purely perceptual experiences. His intricate geometries and structures create shadow-based sculptures and installations that blur the boundaries between science, mathematics, and art. These works, inspired by classical statuary or elements of nature, emerge as unpredictable revelations, encouraging viewers to interact with their shifting forms through movement and perspective.
From intimate pieces to monumental public works, Corneli’s installations lean on light to create the image, crafting spaces where perception and the ephemeral nature of light continuously reshape the artwork. With exhibitions across Europe and beyond, Corneli’s innovative approach has positioned him as a leading figure in contemporary art. His practice serves as a poetic meditation on dualities -light and shadow-, permanence and impermanence, structure, and fluidity

Corneli’s creations are more than art objects; they are invitations to experience the poetic interplay of permanence and impermanence, as well as the unexpected beauty hidden within the dialogue of light and shadow, revealing the profound beauty within these contrasts.
