Artist Bio

Born in 1977, Sculi lives and works in Montfaucon, in the southern Aisne region of France. His studio is surrounded by nature. He is a free-spirited, self-taught artist. He has been creating art since the age of 14. He began exhibiting his work in 1995 and was immediately encouraged and supported by the artists and art lovers he met. Sculi explores every material available to him, every work of art or thought he encounters. Sculi wants to discover art, and particularly visual art. His work reflects a journey he shares with as many people as possible, using the medium of art. What is captivating about his work is its universal appeal. From the beginning, he has strived for his creations to reflect this philosophy: to be understood without any explanation, not even a title. From 1994 to 2013, Sculi explored stone, wood, and metal.

For him, an artist must always move forward in their creative process; they cannot remain fixed in a single style. Artists must constantly evolve: technique and materials are merely tools. Changing them means questioning oneself, opening up new possibilities, and discovering a new language. Consequently, his work is open, with variations in style across a multitude of materials. The common thread running through Sculi's work is his commitment to the planet and the elevation of the spirit.

In 2013, his encounter with resin and fiber optics inspired him to study humankind as being made of light and energy, leading to "Nitescent Fluxes," his current work. In this project, he aims to utilize various art forms: volume, color, sound, light, digitization, and scenography. In exhibitions, the artworks take on a unique dynamic, transforming the exhibition itself into an installation. In these works, Sculi composes with color using pigments he mixes with resin. He doesn't seek color harmony but rather the creation of energy, although with practice his eye has become more refined, allowing him to create his own harmonies.

Fiber optics allows for the generation of light within the artwork in a sustainable way. The light is generated by an LED placed in the base of the piece, and it is easily replaceable, thus simplifying maintenance. The fiber optics are guaranteed for life, unlike the lamps or LEDs embedded in other sculptures. The fiber optics are installed in such a way as to keep pace with the technological evolution of light generators. And it is for this reason that Sculi confidently integrated fiber optics into his work using a proprietary technique, registered with the INPI (French National Institute of Industrial Property), and unique in the world. 2017: The anthropomorphic forms become vegetal, or vegemorphic.

2019: The avant-garde work transitions to experimental, reflecting the evolving state of thought, form, materials, and techniques.

In 2020, he intensified his studies in cosmology and created his first cosmomorphic works.

In 2021, he began his first experiments with light sculpture, a long-standing project. The artist sought to give particular forms to the optical fiber he was working with, resulting in his light drawings. By 2025, Sculi's work had become a profound, multi-layered piece, creating a unique dialogue through its forms and colors, worked in interactive layers. His light drawings are visible day and night, and the viewer ever ceases to discover all the secrets of each piece's composition.
