New media artist, Digital / Physical Sculptor
Flávio Malaguti is a Brazilian self-taught artist based in Florianópolis. After dedicating 12 years to working as a scenographer and art director for the audiovisual industry in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, he returned to his roots, where he now lives and creates art that challenges conventional boundaries.
His artistic practice delves deeply into themes of self-perception and identity, with a special focus on the diverse experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. Specializing in digital sculpture, clay modeling, and photogrammetry, Malaguti’s work is enriched by an array of influences—ranging from surrealism and futurism to spatialism and anthropomorphism.
The natural textures and folklore of his native island further inform his creations. The region’s rich tapestry of legends, myths, and characters is interwoven with his artistic vision, infusing his pieces with both mystery and cultural resonance. Through the use of surreal, biomorphic forms that seamlessly merge the familiar with the alien, his work is not only a personal exploration of identity and transformation but also a universal dialogue that speaks to the interplay between nature, technology, and the human experience.

During my residency at GlogauAIR, I will explore armor as both a physical and symbolic form through photogrammetry and 3D sculpting. Using my body in various poses as the foundation for digital sculptures, I aim to reimagine armor and surface as reflections of identity, strength, and vulnerability. By combining natural textures with surreal forms, I will examine the tension between concealment, revelation, and the construction of self.
