Go to any store that sells construction goods, or drop by a construction site, and you'll see mountains of creative materials. That's really where the expanse for an Italian sculptor named Mattia Trottawho creates his stunning sculptures from chains and metal wires! Why did the sculptor choose such a strange, rough and cold material for his work? The fact is that Mattia Trotta is a mechanical engineer by training, and at one time he had experience in industry, so "taming" wires and chains, turning them into elegant, albeit metal sculptures, is not a problem.
By the way, the association with the taming of metal is very correct, since the author called a series of his unusual sculptures "Draw with Iron". Therefore, for him it is not only art, but also a game, and maybe even a battle. Who will win, who will break, who will surrender Mattia Trotta has won so far, despite admitting a draw.
In addition to metal sculptures made of wire and chains, the author is engaged in music - playing drums. A full biography as well as a gallery of works can be viewed on the Mattia Trotta website.
