Pepe Valenti: El Mar

Pushing the boundaries of both design and art, asking when does design become art, and when does art become design. Pepe Valenti employs an intuitive and hands-on approach, where he explores his fascination for materials. The work results from a search to understand materials and processes, and he does so by physically experimenting with them: thinking through making. Valenti's inspiration comes from raw and untouched matters surrounding us, while my work remains very polished and refined, creating an interesting contrast between the source and the outcome.
