The aesthetic and philosophical research of Andrea Cagnetti - Akelo starts from very far away, giving life to an articulated path, supported by studies in the most disparate fields, broading from vitalism to restlessness, through past, present and future. From a very young age, he focusses on art, Greek - Latin literature and alchemical texts, and above all on ancient technologies concerning ceramics, medicine and the processing of glass stones and fabrics and, in particular, metallurgy. How, moreover, his creations testify: from precious jewels made with Etruscan goldsmithing techniques and composed of thousands of infinitesimal pieces, to steel sculptures, which now praise classicism, now to the most daring abstraction. Extremely different works - confirming an eclecticism and a breadth of vision that are rare on the contemporary art scene - but permeated by a single goal: the search for Beauty and Harmony. A research that, in recent times, Akelo has been leading towards Science and that has been allowing him to enter a new phase of his production.
