Art in the historic town
HEINZ LASTEI
To express his poetic sensibility, Perathoner employs a language that is both precise and pared down. His focus on the human figure goes beyond the physical form - his stylized figures result from a formal investigation that deliberately eliminates all that is superfluous. His artistic language is defined by simplicity and clarity.
Perathoner creates works of great formal elegance, often evoking associations with Egyptian and pre-Renaissance art. His sculptures are an ode to silence—they invite the viewer to pause and listen inwardly. The figures gaze “into the distance,” pointing the way toward the unknown and hinting at the extraordinary aspects of life. The artist gently leads viewers into reflection and into a stillness where the pulse of life becomes tangible.
