Italian artist Antonio Aprea was born in Naples and lives and works in London. He is an interior architect and furniture designer who pours his profound knowledge of materials in unexpected ways into creating unique objects. Aprea is known for his stunning sculptures of skulls, which are rooted deeply in his Neapolitan heritage. He has exhibited them at The Other Art Fair, London in 2022 and Fitzrovia Gallery in 2021.

Aprea’s works are created from a rich variety of media, each referring to the impact of humanity’s destructive nature, from deforestation and loss of biodiversity to oil spills, coral bleaching, and extinction of marine life. The symbol of the Skull is not representative of the death of an individual, but considers the connection between death and life, relating to society and eco-systems.
