Bio
Giulio Cinti, born in Rome in 1990, graduated in Architecture from La Sapienza University in 2018, subsequently obtaining a first-level Master's degree in Jewellery Design from the Accademia di Costume e Moda in Rome during the 2017/2018 academic year. During his educational journey, Cinti enhanced his skills by attending courses in drawing and representation of anatomical subjects using the chiaroscuro technique, under the guidance of the Maestro Giorgio Dante, and in modeling and sculpture with the Maestro Paolo Brozzi.
Giulio's artistic research delves into the resonance of an ancient world that spans the centuries to reach the present day, exploring the sacred and profane tradition from which a symbolism capable of speaking to the present through a timeless verb is born. The artist fearlessly draws from the “greats” of the past and literature, who become vehicles of subtle messages, metaphors of life.
From his blocks of clay emerge figures with sharp, angular features, almost reminiscent of those calligraphic flourishes and that impetus which made Giovanni Pisano one of the greatest masters of the thirteenth century. But Giulio Cinti takes it a step further, leaving additional room for emotional feeling. Thus, these figures, though sharp and endowed with a vivid theatrical presence, often remain trapped in the block of material from which they are created, emerging only lightly whispered. He embraces the lesson of the great master Medardo Rosso and makes it his own.
It is a game of consistencies, angles, light, and shadows that forms on the surface, but also of meanings, which in this way open up to broader interpretations, enveloping his protagonists in an aura of mystery.
In 2022, Cinti was the founder and executor of the project “La Scultura di Tutti,” culminating in the creation of a bronze sculpture depicting “Mary Untier of Knots,” donated to the Parish of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Rome. That same year, he created a bronze bust of Saint Philip Neri, commissioned by the Arciconfraternita dei Pellegrini for the Parish of the “Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini” in Rome. Since 2022, Cinti has been collaborating with art critic and writer Giuseppe Ussani d’Escobar on the creation of the sculptures of the Four Evangelists, which today adorn the facade of the Parish of San Pio X in Rome.
