Le misure, il cielo

Vaisilisa, art-curator

— Walter Valentini transforms geometric abstraction into an act of spiritual inquiry. The sculpture, poised between balance and ascent, resembles an ancient astronomical device — a tool for measuring not only space but also time and consciousness. Its curved bronze plane, intersected by delicate linear engravings, evokes a celestial chart where the visible and invisible intertwine. Through the sharp interplay of shadow and reflection, the work captures the movement of light as a silent rhythm of the cosmos.

Valentini’s fascination with order and proportion finds expression in the way each incision seems to map a trajectory toward infinity. The sculpture’s openness invites the viewer to look beyond its material boundaries, to sense the vast, ordered mystery of the universe. It stands as both instrument and metaphor — a dialogue between human intellect and cosmic immensity. The precision of the metal contrasts with its poetic vulnerability, creating a tension that animates the entire form.

Ultimately, this sculpture is not just a physical object but a meditation rendered in metal. It speaks of humanity’s enduring quest to understand the harmony that governs existence, to find meaning in the measured pulse of creation. Valentini captures that timeless longing — the desire to bring the infinite within reach, if only through the discipline of line, proportion, and luminous silence.
