Born 1967, Milan, Italy.
Lives and works in Budoni, (SS) Sardinia, Italy.
Maurizio Sergiusti, known as Scoobafish in art, is a self-taught Italian artist whose conceptual works boldly tackle themes of ecology, waste, and recycling. Through the use of discarded materials, Scoobafish offers a powerful critique of the excessive consumption that characterizes modern society.
The objects he uses to create his works are often found in the environment, abandoned in illegal landfills, washed ashore, or simply destined for the dump. These humble materials, in Scoobafish's hands, are transformed into figurative sculptures to hang, statues, and installations of great visual impact and unmistakable style.
Through his works, sometimes reworkings of historicized pieces and sometimes products of his imagination, Scoobafish invites us to see the beauty and potential in what the world has abandoned, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary.
