Ornaghi & Prestinari

Valentina Ornaghi  and Claudio Prestinari began their university education at the Polytechnic of Milan, graduating respectively in Industrial Design and Architecture. They then both went on to study at the IUAV in Venice.
Their practice is focused on dualities between thought and action, concept and manual activity; with a marked attention for materials and their potential. Doing as a different way of thinking. Art as a space where ideas can grow. An alchemical practice made of daily patience exercises, the summation of simple but demanding actions which, from the project to its execution, require a constant renewal of will and confidence.
