In this vibrant studio visit, we sit down with Mattia Sugamiele, a Sicilian-born, Milan-based artist whose playful, multi-textured work blurs the line between the digital and physical worlds. Known for his explosive use of color, pillows, textures, and unexpected materials, Mattia explores what it means to be human in an increasingly hybrid reality.
We talk about everything—from his use of AI-generated compositions and Photoshop as canvas, to his thoughts on NFTs, touchable art, youth culture, and the importance of imagination. We also reflect on how the pandemic, climate change, and the concept of a “New Big Bang” shape his creative process.
🧵 In this episode, we discuss:
Why Photoshop and AI are part of Mattia’s painting process
How he prints digital compositions on cotton and transforms them using acrylic, airbrush, spray, and physical objects
His philosophy on touchable art: “Digital needs to become tangible”
The Big Bang, recycled materials, and how destruction can spark joyful creation
What art can do for a generation growing up online—and why play, curiosity, and fun are radical forms of connection
