GIOVANI CARAMELLO
Self-taught, Giovani Caramello (1990, Santo André – SP) began his artistic journey through 3D modeling and found in sculpture the ideal language to deepen his exploration of sculptural techniques, materials, and processes. Interested in the possibilities ranging from terracotta to marble, silicone to resin, the artist is dedicated to investigating sculpture in all its dimensions, establishing a dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity.
A tireless student of technique, Giovani creates characters that inhabit their own universe, inspired both by everyday life and by imaginary and fantastical settings.
He participated in the group exhibition “50 anos de realismo” at CCBB and held solo exhibitions at Caixa Cultural in São Paulo, Curitiba, Salvador, and Fortaleza. His works are part of institutional collections such as the Rio de Janeiro Museum of Art (MAR) and Casa do Olhar Luiz Sacilotto.

“The verb to meditate, according to the Houaiss dictionary, means to study and reflect on “a thought, an aspect, the content of something (...), maturing it over time.” Giovani Caramello’s creative process embodies this understanding. In times when subjectivity and otherness give rise to multiple reflections, the artist selects an emotional state as the central discussion for each sculpture he produces. While classical forms of sculpture aim to monumentalize a fragment of time to be frozen, Giovani’s characters evoke a perception of time in motion: the impermanence of continuous experience.

Giovani’s sculpture-individuals initially present a specific figure. However, they could be any face. In his compositional studies, the artist researches bodily aspects—whether of real people, imaginary ones, or figures represented in art history—and their possible anatomical relationships. His works re-present what belongs to human nature, as the artist positions himself as a reconstructor of gesture-reactions, sculpting something everyone recognizes: emotions."
