L'ARTE DEL REVOCO

From everything that the sea washes to the shore or is thrown away, metal parts, wood, old equipment, plastic…. Nico creates new life, creates mythical creatures that populate his world as well as the sea and the lagoon.

Revoco – this is a Gradese expression that has a multi-layered meaning.

„I call my work “L’arte del revoco” (The Art of Revoco) Grado is a land by the sea. The expressions of daily life are connected with the primordial elements: sun, wind and tides.

Revoco has different meanings: the vortices of the ocean currents, but also the vortices created by the winds, all elements of nature that return. But also memories, loved ones, childhood return. The art of the Revoco is the return of those elements that are returned from the sea to the beach: woods, shells, limestones… as well as faces from the past, voices and smells“
