ARTIST

Rafael Triboli (Porto Alegre, Brazil, 1991; lives in São Paulo) is an artist whose practice moves across sculpture, furniture, ceramics, and drawing. His work explores the tension between gesture and matter, chance and intention, allowing the inherent qualities, imperfections, and temporalities of materials to remain visible.

Working across traditionally distinct fields of art and design, Triboli develops singular objects in which drawing, construction, carving, and spatial arrangement become interconnected modes of inquiry.

His practice is marked by an attentive engagement with material agency, traces of process, and a restrained yet restless visual language shaped by an appreciation for craftsmanship and a solar geometry that moves between the bodily and the cosmic, the functional and the symbolic.

Triboli works predominantly with mahogany, ebony, and Scots pine, combining traditional woodworking techniques with experimental processes. His sculptures incorporate bronze elements cast from hand-made molds in clay, such as carvings filled with carnauba wax coloured with oil paint, emphasizing the physical traces of their making. This sustained dialogue between material, technique, and form reflects his interest in the singularity of the handmade.

His work is part of international collections including SFMOMA and the Denver Art Museum.
