Lives and works in Modena, Italy
Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, he is at the same time painter, sculptor and designer. He lives and works today in Modena, Italy. Admiring the still lives of Joachim Silué, it is difficult not to see a tribute to life, to senses. Half way between painting and sculpture his works are composed of bitumen, wire or recycled wood whose materiality is palpable. The artist gives importance to used elements that have absorbed a form of suffering, a story. The memory of his past animates him.

118 1/8 x 42 1/8 x 5 1/4 inNot without a certain elegance, the reduced palette composed of whites, blacks and beiges emphasizes the narrative presence of these raw materials of whom Joachim Silué tries to sublimate the last moments of life, as to grant them an ultimate function Joachim Silué recently developed the series « Mental Slavery » that questions our submission to codes governed by the society Echoing the myth of Narcissus, this insidious relationship of dependence is expressed especially through the recurring use of the comb or broken mirrors.

'In my work, I portray the discarded and marginalized The individuals or entire communities that civil societies have never taken into consideration The invisible, who live on the poverty line and do not actually enjoy any kind of rights and therefore become vulnerable.'

'The waste materials used in my work symbolizes those discarded living beings of society put together in my utopia to create a parallel universe An ambitious new world, full of life, joy where the future is nourished by variety, for differences are great opportunities and not barriers.'
