Born in Switzerland, 1986, Massimiliano Moro is a sculptor who works with light, colour and movement with shadows as protagonists. He shapes light to give colour to shadow. His research seeks to create new balances that evoke nature in some aspects, but which are always aware of their artificiality and at the same time maintain a familiarity that facilitates contemplation. His artistic training began at the Escola Massana in Barcelona, where he studied Sculpture and later graduated in Art and Design. At the European Institute of Design in Barcelona, he obtained the IED Master in Architectural Lighting. Since 2015 he

To this end, his work responds to the eternal search for beauty. An intuitive search that is permeable to chance. A search inspired fundamentally by ancestral cultures, digital codes and chance encounters. The method is

Maximilian Marchesani is Italian-German, trained in gastronomy, studied design, is an industrial design consultant, grew up between the banks of the Po River and Berlin, and lives in Milan. He presented his first lighting creations in 2022. Obsessed with the search for harmony between technology and the organic world, his installations invoke a continuous exchange between human interiority and global phenomena, between causes and consequences, between past and future.

Javier Riera is a Spanish visual artist whose work centers on geometric light projections cast directly onto vegetation and landscapes. He uses photography as a medium of documentation and dissemination, capturing real interventions without digital manipulation. His approach offers a sensory and meditative experience, closely aligned with the principles of Land Art. Riera explores the relationship between geometry and nature, creating a poetic dialogue that invites viewers to reflect on their perception of the landscape. His work aspires to expand awareness, opening windows to hidden dimensions and qualities within the natural world. He understands geometry as a primordial language, preceding
