Alberto Cavalieri (b. 1969, Caracas, Venezuela) is a sculptor based in Caracas, Venezuela. Internationally recognized for his monumental sculptures and public works, Cavalieri has worked in visual arts—particularly sculpture—since completing studies in industrial design, mechanical engineering, and art in Caracas from 1986 to 1994. His work is rooted in a fascination with the physical and mechanical aspects of objects, creating forms that balance apparent tension with graceful equilibrium. While his large-scale works play with the visual weight of rigid materials shaped into seemingly effortless knots and turns, his smaller conceptual pieces—such as inscribed concrete bricks—offer direct, literal prompts to the viewer. Cavalieri’s practice is a continuous process of material exploration and transformation, each work leading organically to the next.
