Matta’s sculptures represent a plastic universe where memory of the past and imagination fuse in bronze. Oceanic, primitive, and African art, totemic idols, Pre-Columbian civilizations, and Etruscan culture blend with technological and futuristic suggestions. The prehistoric amalgamates with the sci-fi in figures born from the aggregation of heterogeneous signs, situated between the atavistic and the extraordinary: stele-statues and semi-anthropomorphic beings—whose anthropological reference is often amplified by their titles—reflecting a profound investigation into the roots of humanity while challenging the limits of space-time.
