Riccardo Matlakas

I was born in Naples, Italy. My background broadens to the fields of painting, performance, sculpture and Installation. After my degree in classical sculpture in Naples, I moved to London where I studied to a Master in “Social Sculpture" at Oxford Brookes University. I consider myself a multidisciplinary artist with concerns of a social sculpture practitioner. My interest focuses on the search of inner truth. my work is multidisciplinary, I use the media necessary for a specific project. 

I believe the media to be the voice of the idea, and the voice has to have a specific character in different context, that's why I like choosing a variety of different tones. I see visual art as music, as I believe that physical objects are made out of vibration. I participated to exhibitions and performance events including: Biennale of young artists in Moscow, Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, The Museum of Palestine in Cape Town and the institute of Palestine in South Africa.
