Alessio Ceruti
Alessio Ceruti (b. 1980, Varese, Italy) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between humans and nature through sculpture, painting, video, and installation. Self-taught, he began his artistic journey in his father's workshop, collaborating on sculptures for renowned artists.
Based between Milan and Bali, his practice blends recycled metals, plexiglass, natural materials, and light into immersive, reflective works. His layered plexiglass paintings, which shift with light and perspective, explore perception, impermanence, and the fluid boundaries between organic and artificial landscapes. Influenced by his experiences as a free diver and his travels in Asia, Ceruti creates pieces that invite viewers to reconnect with the natural world. His work has been exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions across Europe, Southeast Asia, and the United States.
My work explores the fragile and shifting relationship between humans and nature. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and video, I investigate transformation, perception, and the impermanence of matter. I’m drawn to materials that change over time, recycled metals, natural elements, and especially layered plexiglass, which plays with light and reflection to create shifting, immersive experiences. These works invite viewers to see how perspective shapes reality and how what appears solid can dissolve into something fluid and uncertain. As a free diver, I’m inspired by the underwater world, a place of quiet stillness, infinite depth, and delicate beauty. My art seeks to bring a piece of that experience to the surface, inviting people to slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace the mystery of change. - Alessio Ceruti
