THE SCULPTURE: MY SCULPTURE

Began her studies in architecture at the Jose Maria Vargas University in 1991. In those years, design was projected through a geometric synthesis. The conception of an idea materialized like a work of art, like a sculpture; one that came predetermined after studying the conditions and characteristics of the medium to produce a piece.

She expresses her quest for life in simple geometric shapes with complex questions surrounding them. “I’ve always crafted figures in wood and metal sculptures as a way to metaphorically express my preconceived ideas to capture the essence of what we call design. I firmly believe that through a sculpture it is possible to create encounters with the many structures that surround us in these populated cities that have a contemporary calling. In the end, all the buildings and dwellings are sculptures to the human eye, grouped together, where they determine a volume capable to conceive and resist the mistreatment of the hustle and bustle of human life.”

One of her sculptures, The Square, transforms the artist into a superimposed sequence based on real life, due to the perfection of the square’s shape. Day-to-day experiences are shown to form episodes of life. This is what it’s all about: creating contemporary sculptures is dreaming; it’s a dimension capable of finding and formalizing a medium of life, be it for learning purposes or simply curiosity of being part of that environment where we encounter sculpture—whether in the lobby of a building in Miami, a public park in the United States, or an international exhibition.

This work is the depiction of a life that at times we do not dare take charge of, being exposed to the environment in which we are born, growing and evolving according to our ideals, circumstances, and perception, our inner and outer worlds. “A sculpture for me is a universal means of expression, one that doesn’t discriminate any individual, race, or ideology, and is capable of inspiring dreams in each moment of this long walk we call life.”

Fabia Nitti’s brightly painted geometric metal constructions, crafted in steel and aluminum sculptures with museum-quality finishes, seem destined for offices, modern buildings, and public parks. Her work connects architecture, design, and art, making her a prominent figure in contemporary sculpture in Miami and throughout the United States.
