Welcome to Velaio. Velaio is a sailmaker, a craftsman whose work propels and gives motion. In the past a sailmakerʼs work could be seen in the masts of the great ships that plied the oceans of the world exploring, exploiting: shaping our world.

Today artists are the sailmakers creating poetic threads that lifts and propels their work above itself, allowing it to sail over and above its often mundane beginnings to something and someplace beyond the quotidian. It is those threads that binds the works here to the project: The Poetry Abandonment/The Abandonment of Poetry, a philosophical container created in Venice in 2007 to gather my various projects together. It’s no longer only canvas.
