Matteo Arte

Artists

From a young age, Matteo Arte was captivated by visual culture-vintage posters, classic brand ads, and the art found in streets and shop windows. Guided by a mother who was both an artist and fashion enthusiast, early visits to Gucci, Louis Vuitton, YSL, and Chanel shaped his lifelong connection to color, design, and luxury.

Creativity runs deep in his family. His father, a jazz musician and teacher, inspired rhythm and freedom of expression, while his grandmother, an MGM performer, embodied elegance and glamour, qualities that echo throughout his work.

Growing up in the 1980s, Matteo absorbed the era’s bold visual energy, redrawing album covers from icons like Van Halen, Depeche Mode, and Run DMC. That rebellious pop spirit continues to fuel his art today.

Matteo’s sculptures fuse modern luxury and pop culture, blending nostalgia, humor, and sophistication. Each handmade resin work reinterprets cultural icons with a satirical edge, often adorned with Austrian and Czechoslovakian diamond-cut crystals. The result is a collection that radiates brilliance, precision, and individuality.

Every piece embodies Matteo Arte’s signature vision, where luxury becomes sculpture, capturing the memories of the past, the pulse of the present, and the promise of the future.
