Intrappolato nelle pietre, trafitto da spine, braccato da animali che mostrano i denti, circondato da insetti velenosi, fiori che avvinghiano fino a soffocarti. Occorre lottare. L’unica arma per uscirne vivi è la bellezza."

Scultrice ed artista orafa. Nasce a Volterra nel 1968, in una famiglia di artigiani alabastri. Dal padre scultore (Dolfo) eredita la naturale propensione al lavoro manuale. Inizia le prime sperimentazioni nel campo del gioiello nei primi anni ottanta, cimentandosi da subito con forme e materiali diversi dalla tradizione classica. Utilizza ferro, bronzo, schiume di alluminio, legno, accostandoli per contrasto a materiali preziosi. Estende la sua esperienza anche in campo scultoreo, realizzando nel 2004 un totem in acciaio inox tuttora collocato al PAC di Livorno e nel 2011 la sua prima scultura luminosa che la porterà, con un percorso inverso, a lavorare ad un progetto di gioielli luminosi, "i notturni", tuttora in fase di sviluppo. Ha partecipato a numerose mostre internazionali, in Italia e all'estero. Vive e lavora a Pisa.

Sculptor and goldsmith artist, Stenia Scarselli was born in Volterra in 1968 among a family of alabaster craftsmen. She inherited a natural propensity for manual work from her father Dolfo, a sculptor. She started experimenting with jewellery in the early eighties immediately experimenting with shapes and materials different to the classic and traditional. She uses iron, bronze, aluminum foam and wood, combining them with precious materials. Her experience also extends to the field of sculpture. In 2004 she created a stainless steel totem still in place at PAC in Livorno and in 2011 created her first illuminated sculpture that she is currently carrying through, in a reverse direction, into a project of illuminated jewellery called “nightlife”. She has participated in numerous exhibitions both in Italy and abroad. Stenia lives and works in Pisa.
