Caio Marcolini is an artist, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, UFRJ, 2012), and has an Associate Degree in Jewelry (SENAI, Rio de Janeiro, 2007), both in Brazil. He was a student at the School of Visual Arts of Parque Lage, Rio de Janeiro, under the supervision of the artist and professor Bruno Miguel (Portfólio de Artista: Estratégias de Apresentação e Desenvolvimento de Carreira, 2022), under the supervision of the artist Anna Bella Geiger and curator Fernando Cocchiarale (Sobre os Abstracionismos Nacionais e Internacionais, 2020), under the supervision of the artist and curator Franz Manata (Desenvolvimento de projeto, 2016) and professor Charles Watson (Processo Criativo, I, II, III, 2015).
Marcolini’s artistic works confuse itself with his labor and background in the fields of jewelry, art and design. If we can surely imagine the contradictions and particularities of such disciplines, what Caio does is precisely blur those borders, by moving its creations in and out such discursive spaces. He researches the material and the ethereal, creating objects through a weaving process created by himself. His practice is nurtured by the movement: the idea moves as the object is being made, a malleable thread of countless loops, and it is shaped, it shifts, as much as its creator desires.
