Mattia Listowski is a visual artist working across sculpture, drawing, painting, and photography. He constructs architectural fragments from mental images that resist direct visualization. These works operate as active forms of thought: each fragment generates its own sense of totality. His practice explores how fragments activate memory and produce new connections, transforming unstable visions into spatial hypotheses.
Each work begins with an image that cannot be fully stabilized.
Rather than attempting to represent it, Mattia Listowski constructs it. Through a process of selection and reduction, forms are produced as fragments — not incomplete parts, but structures that contain their own internal coherence.
This shift is essential: the fragment is not what remains, but what operates. It does not refer back to a whole, but generates one.
Across sculpture, drawing, painting, and photography, these forms circulate, transform, and reappear under different conditions. Materials such as concrete reinforce this tension, oscillating between permanence and instability, construction and erosion.
The work unfolds as a system of correspondences, where each piece functions less as an object than as a point of activation — a site where perception reorganizes itself and new relations emerge.
