Emanuel Zoncato is a sculptor who works with stone using that consummate craftsmanship that demands a logic and necessity inherent in the stone material before even belonging to the artist, in symbiosis with it. Progressing from the understanding of the craft to the point of entering the stone and identifying with it, he infuses it with that ideal of beauty that he has cultivated within himself. The notion of the truth of the material drives him towards a formalism that captures the image without fossilizing it into archetypes that strip it of underlying humanity. The stone material adheres to the subject matter treated in a simple and pure manner.
