Lorenzo Nanni

 Lorenzo Nanni is an Italian Textile graduate living in Paris. His influences include the human body from birth until death as well as flora and fauna.  His handiwork includes such detail that you can repeatedly stare at it and the eye falls on something different each time.

Through the medium of embroidery and embellishment Lorenzo captures organic beauty by using clusters of beads, stitches and sequins which accumulate into sprawling, sculptural forms. He also creates smaller pieces depicting dramatic enlargements of flora and elements of the human body. For me, his works capture the mystical and sometimes dark elements of nature perfectly.
