Born in Carrara, Italy, 1981

Met Devoti grew up surrounded by marble, noise, and rhythm. After graduating in Sculpture from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara in 2007, his creative path flowed naturally between matter and sound.

From 1997 to 2009 he lived and breathed music — guitarist, singer, author — until one day the energy of composition shifted from strings to stone. The music became sculpture.

Between 2010 and 2014 he lived in Japan, working at the University of Kagoshima as a sculpture assistant. There he learned the value of silence, discipline, and the poetry of empty space — lessons that still echo through his work today.

Since then, his journey has been one of exploration and encounter: exhibitions across Italy and abroad, artistic residencies, symposia, and countless experiments with new materials and meanings. His sculptures grow out of curiosity — a dialogue between instinct, irony, and spirituality.

Since 2019, he has also been creating liturgical sculptures for the church Maria SS. Mediatrice in Carrara, where tradition meets a deeply personal, contemporary vision of the sacred.

His work has been featured in the Catalogo dell’Arte Moderna (Giorgio Mondadori editions, issues no. 50 and 51, 2015–2016), but what defines him most is the continuous search — between gesture and sound — for that fragile balance where matter becomes emotion.
