Dionisio Cimarelli

His expertise led him to collaborate on restoration projects at prominent monuments, including the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Royal Stockholm Palace.

In 1975, his talent was recognized when he won first prize in the Premio Natale, a local art competition designed exclusively for primary school students.

These works reflect an experimentation with movement and form, aiming to capture the essence of human and natural elements in non-figurative compositions.

This series represents a unique synthesis of Eastern and Western traditions, combining aesthetic elements and techniques from both Italian and Chinese heritage.

The vibrant and jewel-like surface finishing evoke traditional Chinese glazing methods, while the integration of Italian sculptural aesthetics adds a distinct intercultural dimension.

These works have been exhibited in various international galleries and museums, highlighting their contribution to the ongoing cultural dialogue between East and West.

[20] The sculpture, a blend of Italian and Chinese cultural elements, was exhibited throughout the whole duration of the Expo, where it was seen by a large international audience.

Crafted in his Shanghai studio,[21] the sculpture also features calligraphy painted by a Chinese calligrapher, adding an authentic cultural layer to the work.

[49] In 2019, he was invited to share his extraordinary life and artistic journey at Theatre Carlo Goldoni in Corinaldo[50] and at the Academy of Fine Arts of Macerata,[51] in Italy.
