Luca Serasini (Pisa, 1971) is a multidisciplinary artist who has evolved from a traditional painting practice to complex and hybrid languages, standing out for his ability to mediate between nature and culture, technology and symbol, memory and experimentation. By integrating land art, multimedia installations, sculpture, and interactive technology, his research occupies a borderland between art, science, and spirituality, with a strong focus on the dialogue between heaven and earth, myth and contemporaneity.
He has exhibited and created temporary land art installations in Italy, France, England, Germany, Austria, and Morocco, while permanent works can be visited in Tuscany in the municipalities of Lajatico, Peccioli, and Riparbella.
Together with Nico Malvaldi, he founded the association Cantiere Nuovo in 2012, which creates and organises contemporary art events in the Pisa coastal area (Marina di Pisa).
Thanks to the Municipality of Pietrasanta, in 2025, together with Marco Ricci of Mastro, he exhibited the project Waiting for Angels with the exhibition ‘The listeners’.
ACTIVE PROJECTS
The Progetto Costellazioni (started in 2013) is one of the most mature lines of his poetics, which for years has explored the relationship between nature, light, memory, and perception. Serasini sees the firmament as a space for projecting human destinies; the celestial map becomes a symbolic and installational device that allows the sky to be brought to earth and the human body to be returned to the sky, creating a reconnection between sensory experience and the cosmological dimension.
Waiting for Angels is his most recent project (2023), which, while avoiding explicit religious iconography, moves in a territory that combines contemporary art and archaic symbolism, aimed at evoking anticipation, dialogue with the in-visible and hope, at a time when it increasingly seems to be lacking. In this series of works, the artist engages with, develops and reinterprets the biblical theme of Jacob’s Dream by proposing suspended islands, irregular copper and iron ladders unsuitable for humans, plastic witnesses awaiting some signal, lunar landscapes and proposals for outdoor installations, a final push for dialogue with the immeasurable, in the search for messages of peace and change that involve visitors with immersive and multimedia installations. Finally, by transforming pillow-stones into irregular polyhedra (corpura irregulata), the artist encourages the deconstruction of ideal perfection through emblematic forms representing the complexity of the world.
