Giangi Razeto’s artistic journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. With a background in sociology and communication, he entered the world of design through an unexpected path—experimenting with boat hardware and transforming it into wearable art. Over time, Razeto’s creations evolved from jewelry into larger sculptural pieces, showcasing his ability to merge craftsmanship, emotion, and innovation.
In the accompanying video, Razeto shares how his passion for challenging materials led to the creation of iconic works like his "Tortured Emoticons," a series where digital symbols are brought to life in physical form and "tortured" into new emotional expressions. His work often reflects a deep connection to history and tradition, as seen in his modern reinterpretations of Sardinian bronze figures, which he reimagines as "The Cloaks."
Sustainability is at the heart of Razeto’s art. Using recycled materials, he crafts meaningful pieces like the Boat Builders Award trophy, celebrating the nautical industry, and the Sailor of the Year trophy, symbolizing the harmony of air and water. Each project carries a story, often born from months of experimentation and culminating in an explosion of creativity in his workshop.
For Razeto, the challenge of the unknown is what fuels his artistic process. Whether working on sculptural art or functional design, he consistently pushes the boundaries of what’s possible, creating pieces that evoke emotion and tell a story.
