MNTG’s interests lie in the fusion of sculpture, installation, technology, sound, light, space, image, video, and performance, with the aim of creating an aesthetic at the intersection of industry and humanitas, while evoking or shaping emotional experiences. At the same time, the work seeks to question forms of control and explore parallels to the human condition, particularly within the tension between technical structure, individual perception, and social order.


Born and raised in Cortaccia, Italy, he completed his apprenticeship and journeyman's certification as a wood sculptor. After a formative year in Berlin, he returned to his hometown, where he worked in restoration, event management, and as a youth counselor.

In early 2020, he moved to Vienna, where he spent three years as a precision mechanic specializing in watch repair. thereafter, he completed his vocational matriculation exam.

Currently, he works at the inclusive dance studio Lillis Ballroom and is pursuing studies in Digital Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna as well as Teacher Education at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
