Gabriele Mosti
Gabriele, born in Massa and currently living in Carrara, graduated from the Carrara Academy of Fine Arts in Sculpture, with the thesis in History of Art "Giuseppe Bartolozzi and Clara Tesi: The Poetry of the Matter". For Gabriele the sculpture resembles poetry, musicality of the words. Just like a poet plays with words, punctuation and pauses, so does the sculptor with shapes and volumes, solids and voids, seeking harmony between the elements and the balance of the composition. The art of sculpture lies in discovering the shapes and spirits hidden in the stone living in the reality of things and the human expression. In his art Gabriele enjoys playing with shapes turning them into something similar to dreams.

The greatness of the art spirit lies also in the ability to immerse in the smallest details.
