Emanuele Sari Italian, b. 1976

He graduated from scientific high school in 1995. He encountered the world of glass while attending the Orsoni furnace and the Mosaic School of Friuli in Spilimbergo, first studying on his own and later with the school's masters. He worked at the Berengo Fine Arts gallery in Venice from 1997 to 2001, where he had the opportunity to meet world-renowned artists who helped him develop his own identity. His passion for mosaic, which from that moment on became his favourite medium of expression, began when he discovered the works of mosaicist Dusciana Bravura in Venetian art galleries. His first works are framed mirrors, which gradually give way to real paintings and portraits of a high standard. Creator, owner and founder of the Emanuele Sari art studio since 2002, where 7 to 20 collaborators work with the artist, depending on the projects.

In 2025, his activity has been particularly intense and meaningful. Revisiting a section of Il Glande Flagello, he created ‘The Penultimate Supper’, one of the largest and most astonishing satirical works in the world—where satire is elevated to art. He then created a black-and-white portrait of Maradona, later installed in Largo Maradona in Naples, just beneath the imposing mural dedicated to the football legend. In the same year, he paid tribute to Venetian popular culture with a mosaic placed along the Restera in Treviso, depicting Einstein trying to figure out “What 15 + 18 equals”.

In May, Cris Contini Contemporary presented the solo exhibition Storytelling at its gallery in Notting Hill, London, as part of the official programme of London Craft Week 2025. For the occasion, a successful creative workshop was organised where the public could create their own personalised mosaics with the help of the artist.

Finally, on December 4, his first solo museum exhibition organized by Cris Contini Contemporary will open at Casa Robegan in Treviso, Italy.
