About Manuel Quaresima
Manuel Quaresima is an Italian sculptor whose work explores the human form through the raw, enduring medium of steel. Each piece is entirely handcrafted and welded by hand in his studio in Italy — no molds, no mass production, only the direct dialogue between the artist and the metal.
The Work
His sculptures capture movement, tension, and silence — figures suspended between gesture and stillness. From the mythological weight of Prometeo to the quiet introspection of Silenzio Obliquo, every work is a unique object, conceived and realized as a singular artistic statement.
The Process
Steel is chosen for its contradictions: industrial yet intimate, rigid yet expressive. Manuel works directly with the material, shaping it through heat, force, and precision. Each sculpture bears the marks of its making — the welds, the textures, the decisions made in the moment.
