Art is a very old thing, it has survived for centuries, and has been evolving every day, forcing artists to use their imagination to excel in this competitive and creative world.
Finding paper on the floor, finding metal thrown in, finding old paint in a closet, that's common today, but using it is what the world ought to do, having creativity to use discarded, low-use materials, is the idea of a mechanic.
Mechanical for more than 30 years, he wanted to renovate, but he did not know what to do.
He looked for something to do that interested him and found a goldsmith course and did it for a month. Patience and detail are key to making a jewel and creativity makes jewelry an art.
Looking at abandoned tools in the closet, paints that were not used, He had a little touch of intuition when he was flipping a magazine that in the bottom of the cover had a delicate little art, seeing what caught his attention.
The inspiration was to make small screens with his tools of jewelry, used a magnifying glass, a saw, a drill, a file to finish the frames and a needle to paint the little ones, used an aluminum plate that found in the floor of the workshop and used the paints of his nephew, began the first screen with 10 millimeters. It was incredible and ended up liking it, it was decreasing to know what limit, and reached 0.7 tenths of a millimeter.
Descending from Italians the mechanical artist Wesley D'Amico did not stop the dream of wanting to change, accept new challenges and face the world.
"Adding something in life does well and increases self-esteem." "
D'Amico continues to make sculptures, canvases, resin pieces, etchings, and in the off-hours writes phrases for Chiado Portugal publisher, Thinker, Famous Phrases, all his material can be seen on Google.
It has gained prominence in other countries, China, Russia, Iran, Indonesia, Greece.
This is a little story of a mechanic coloring his life.
"In a little story there is a great artist."
Wesley D'Amico today, at age 41, enjoys having two lives, one in grease and the other in a different and colorful world. Self-taught, he currently lives in the interior of São Paulo, in a small town called Mombuca, calm and quiet, with 4 thousand inhabitants, conducive to art. It was there that he discovered his vocation.
He began his career in 2004 making sketches that today have become sculptures.
