“My goal is to really think about how nature could look in the future. I’m interested in creating a work where materials and shapes and textures can speak about an attitude.”
Luca Vanello is an Italian-Slovenian artist that works with sculpture and installations. His works create speculative environments that explore the relationships between technology and the cycles of nature, investigating how natural and man-made matter intimately form conditions of vulnerability, vitality, and coexistence.

Vanello’s practice explores how non-human entities interweave within the distribution of the visible. Plants, objects, images, affects, and energies are treated as part of a single organic whole. Physical manipulation becomes a conceptual tool where intimate narratives and material cycles intertwine. Processes such as evaporation, digital image alteration, compression, fragmentation, and absorption turn alteration into a form of abstraction — a way of thinking through both collective and individual narratives.
