Surfing out the Metaverse – a celebration of life.

“Surfing Out of the Metaverse,” a dynamic artwork crafted from recycled carbon fiber. This piece redefines the conventional practice of translating real objects into the virtual world by drawing a kitesurf board from the digital realm into reality. Designed by the artist, this board symbolizes the exhilarating rush of adrenaline felt during extreme sports.

The artwork draws a striking parallel with the renowned “Cristo Velato,” a sculpture famed for its intricate detailing of tissue waves in marble. In “Surfing Out of the Metaverse,” the artist masters carbon fiber to achieve a similarly precious effect. Despite its appearance of soft, flowing tissue, the material is in fact a very rigid structure, showcasing the artist’s technical prowess and innovative use of advanced materials.

“Surfing Out of the Metaverse” is an invitation to bring the vibrancy and excitement of the virtual world into our tangible experiences. The artist’s use of carbon fiber, known for its strength and lightweight properties, adds depth and resilience to the piece. The board’s intricate design and bold colors capture the essence of adventure and the human spirit’s drive to explore beyond boundaries.

This artwork challenges viewers to break free from the confines of the digital world and immerse themselves fully in real-life experiences. It celebrates the fusion of technology and nature, urging us to balance our virtual engagements with genuine, physical adventures. “Surfing Out of the Metaverse” is not just a piece of art; it’s a call to action to live life to the fullest and embrace the thrill of the unknown

Sergio Durante among the big artist of the last century 

9 April 2024

It is with immense pride and gratitude that I announce my inclusion in the prestigious 2024 Yearbook of Modern Art Artists. This esteemed publication, spanning 600 pages, showcases the masterpieces of renowned artists such as Chagall, De Chirico, Fontana, Gattuso, Mirò, Modigliani, Monet, Picasso, Schifano, Shimamoto, Warhol, and now, myself, Sergio Durante. To be featured alongside such titans of the art world is a humbling honor. Furthermore, I am deeply moved to have been granted the privilege of adorning the second cover page, a testament to the recognition of my artistic contributions. This recognition serves as both validation and inspiration, motivating me to continue pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and contributing to the rich tapestry of modern art.

My artistic creations are a fusion of sculpture and painting, crafted from a truly unique material: recycled carbon fibers. Utilizing my proprietary technology, I extract these carbon fibers from components once integral to airplanes or motorsport race cars. These fibers, with their rich history and intrinsic resilience, are repurposed to form intricate and captivating artworks that embody a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

Each piece I create is a testament to the synergy between advanced technology and inspired artistry. Through meticulous craftsmanship and a mastery of techniques, I transform these recycled fibers into captivating sculptures that evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia. Handmade with care and precision, my artworks transcend their material origins to become powerful symbols of resilience, endurance, and creativity.

I like to envision that each carbon fiber carries with it a story—a tale of past triumphs, adrenaline-fueled races, or perhaps even daring military missions. In my artworks, these fibers find new life, imbuing each piece with a sense of depth and narrative that resonates with viewers on a profound level. From the sleek curves of a race car to the aerodynamic lines of a fighter jet, my creations celebrate the spirit of exploration, innovation, and human achievement.

Join me on a journey through time and space, where the echoes of the past mingle with visions of the future. Through my art, I invite you to experience the beauty, complexity, and boundless potential of recycled carbon fibers—the building blocks of a new artistic frontier.
