Federico Tosi was born in Milano in 1988 he stills lives and works in Milan, Italy. He is a talented sculpture who tackles the topics of our innate and involuntary processes. His art talks about how we, as humans, often project feelings such as tenderness and love towards completely inanimate objects, without even being aware of doing it. Federico Tosi’s artworks are sometimes made of wood, glass, terracotta, resin or even plasticine, and often feature the imagery of animals, juxtaposed with human behavior in an ironic, even entertaining way. In fact, the artist often successfully manages to elicit both the feeling of discomfort and fun at the same time from his viewers.
