MakeAnObject is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sculpture, painting, and design, working exclusively with reclaimed materials. His work begins with objects and fragments that have been discarded, overlooked, or worn by time—wood, metal, stone, and industrial or natural elements. Rather than seeing imperfections as flaws, MAO considers them points of origin: traces that hold memory, character, and narrative potential.
His approach is guided by a deep attentiveness to the material itself. Each piece starts from what the material already suggests—its curves, breaks, oxidations, or the marks left by previous lives. MAO does not intervene to erase this history; instead, he allows it to emerge, to breathe, and to evolve into a new presence. Through this process, the past of each fragment remains visible, yet transformed into shapes and compositions that feel both unexpected and inevitable.
In his sculptures, reclaimed materials are assembled into structures that navigate the tension between weight and lightness, stability and movement. The compositions often reveal an intuitive dialogue between natural textures and industrial remnants, forming delicate yet grounded visual balances. Transformation, in his work, is not an act of correction but an act of continuation.
MAO’s paintings emerge from reclaimed surfaces—weathered wood, used paper, worn fabrics—and are deeply influenced by cinematic language. For MAO, films are places of light, framing, and rhythm, capable of conveying emotional resonance without explicit narration. This sensibility appears in his painted works through color fields that evoke blurred scenes, contrasts that resemble isolated film frames, and gestures that suggest movement or shifting perspectives. The surface, already marked by time, becomes a screen where new visual atmospheres take shape.
