Hugo Rocci
Hugo Rocci finds inspiration in the ordinary objects and spaces of everyday life. In a world that values constant activity and avoids boredom, Rocci is fascinated by the concepts of waiting and being stuck. He sees these states as opportunities for imagination, thought, and fantasy. By embracing the idea of waiting, Rocci aims to give it another meaning and explore the rich possibilities that emerge from that space.
Rocci's artistic practice involves abstracting and reworking everyday objects and spaces to create new structures that are both enigmatic and familiar. Through his playful exploration of images, language, symbols, and social spaces, he looks into the connections and contradictions that exist between them. His work spans across various media, including colorful prints, painting, ceramics, and installation.
