Mustapha Ture
Mustapha Ture, an artist and sculptor born in Senegal in 1985 and based in Italy, has established himself as one of the most significant voices in contemporary sculpture. He completed his artistic training at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, where he developed a distinctive sculptural language that blends African tradition with Western influences. His work, primarily crafted from materials such as wood, iron, and bronze, explores universal themes such as memory, identity, migration, and the relationship between humanity and nature. His sculptures, often archetypal and elongated figures, possess a strong symbolic and material impact. His career is marked by numerous solo and group exhibitions in prestigious galleries and institutions in Italy and abroad. Among his most important accolades is winning the Cairo Prize in 2017, which recognized the value of his artistic research on the national scene and consolidated his reputation as a prominent figure in contemporary art.
