Monumental works, rough materials, ancestral references, strong emotions, natural elements. It is Maria Cristina Carlini, a sculptor famous on the national and international scene, who from the very entrance opens this edition of Superdesign Show with a thought-provoking ensemble sculpture.

"The strength of ideas" (from the title of the solo exhibition currently on display at the Palazzo delle Stelline in Corso Magenta in Milan) by Maria Cristina Carlini is the constant in the works of this seemingly fragile and delicate artist, who throughout her life has grappled with iron, cor-ten steel, reclaimed wood, earth, mud, rags and has transformed, agglomerated, broken down and reassembled them, with an interplay between past, present and future, into exciting, large-scale works that seem to assume exceptional physical strength. From his early artistic experiences in California to exhibitions on three continents, Europe America Asia, to China, his works have carried the message of an imperious and sometimes wounded nature. Like the Forest made of troughs fleshed out to the essence that introduces visitors to Superstudio and invites them to reflect on environmental destruction and sustainability, a theme that permeates many of the installations presented.
