Davide Medri selected by Homo Faber of the Michelangelo Foundation
Davide Medri at MAR di Ravenna for “I’M A MOSAIC!”
28 November 2024
Homo Faber is the prestigious digital project of the Michelangelo Foundation that celebrates and promotes excellence in European artistic craftsmanship, creating a bridge between past and future through the stories of contemporary master craftsmen who keep secular traditions alive by reinterpreting them with innovative languages and modern visions.
Davide Medri is proud to announce that he has been selected to be included in this prestigious platform, a recognition that confirms the uniqueness of his approach to contemporary mosaics.
The selection highlights how his innovative technique - which replaces traditional marble with mirrors to capture and reflect light - represents a significant evolution of a millennial tradition rooted in Ancient Rome and the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna.
Davide's artistic journey, which keeps the ancient mosaic process alive through the preparation of mortar and the manual cutting of tesserae, is thus recognized as an example of contemporary artisanal excellence. His design products - sculptures, mirrors and furnishing elements - are not just artistic objects, but elements that transform spaces through the dynamic play of lights and reflections, where the magic of light that plays and reflects emotions can be found.
This important international recognition valorizes not only Davide's work, but also the territory of Romagna and its rich mosaic tradition, confirming how Italian artistic craftsmanship continues to be a recognized excellence in the world.
