The aspiration for harmony is a central theme in our existence, a path that sees us constantly oscillating between order and chaos, between materiality and spirituality, in search of a balance that is as much outer as it is inner. This incessant search for balance is the common thread that runs through Cesare Viola’s artistic production. His sculptures evoke a constant tension, suspended between strength and fragility, toward a “dynamic balance” that is not limited to symmetry, but rather reflected in the interactions between light and shadow, solids and voids, earth and sky, creativity and technique. A distinctive aspect of his work is precisely this continuous search for balance, a theme that emerges most clearly in his more recent works. Here, sinuous forms and soft surfaces follow one another in a harmonious flow, overcoming the roughness of his earlier sculptures.Cesare Viola’s creations are populated with complex figures, characterized by spheres and curved surfaces that reflect light, contrasted by shadows generated by voids and recesses. His works seem almost to come from another world: dreamlike figures rising to the sky, powerful and majestic animals.His sculptures arise from a moment of inspiration that precedes sleep, in that space of suspended consciousness where the mind is free from limits and conditioning. They are “visions” that Caesar reproduces and molds, creating a link between the tangible world and the most intimate and personal feelings. A particularly prominent place among his works is occupied by bulls, symbols of uncontrolled strength and indomitability. In these animals, Caesar sees the struggle between the power of instinct and man’s inner conflicts. The bulls, for Caesar’s collectors, have also become symbols of success and good fortune, evoking the symbolic value of the “bull market” (Bull Market). “In my work I try to go beyond pure technique,” says Caesar Viola, “I want each creation to arouse a sense of wonder and introspection, capable of surprising the audience, going beyond the expectations of those who observe my works.”
