Ricсardo Murelli is an Italian sculptor usually working with metal. He was born in Rome in a family of architects in 1975. He studied anthropology, philosophy and history of art at the university. He currently divides between his studio of Todi in Italy and in Moscow. His career started with painting. Then, working as an assistant of the famous American sculptor Beverly Pepper, he turned to abstract sculpture that became the basis of his work.

Murelli works in various techniques, such as sculpture made of metal and wood, engraving, painting, installations in architectural spaces and parks. Based on geometrical shapes, Murelli’s work opens a discourse about the rhythm of human life as an allegory and examines the concept of transparency, the problem of interaction and confrontation of scales (macro and micro), the nature of spaces (private and public). Sculptor and philosopher names among his first teachers Italian sculptor, creator of Futurism Umberto Boccioni and the Russian Constructivists. The work of such avant-garde artists as Vladimir Tatlin and Alexander Rodchenko gave Murelli an understanding of the importance of interaction of his works of art with its surrounding space.
