Pablo Damián Cristi is an Italo-Argentine sculptor and architect whose practice is rooted in the tradition of direct carving — a discipline of immediate, unmediated dialogue with material. Trained as an architect at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario (2002), he developed his sculptural language through hands-on research, working primarily in Carrara statuario marble, eucalyptus wood, and bronze. His works range from intimate formats to monumental installations exceeding three metres, exhibited across Italy, Argentina, Uruguay, and the United Kingdom. Cristi has received international recognition including the Premio Borghetti for Best International Sculptor at Torano and Best Sculptor at the International Art Competition in Punta del Este. His practice inhabits the threshold between body and spirit, giving form to interior states that resist verbal expression. From 2026, he is establishing his atelier in Florence, deepening his engagement with Carrara marble in collaboration with the artisanal workshops of the Tuscan tradition — a city he regards not as a backdrop, but as an active interlocutor in the ongoing work of revelation that defines his sculpture.
