The work with metal and wood, together with his passion for Cubist and Impressionist art, awakened in Augusto Di Carpi the desire to interpret the great masters through his own eyes and, thus, the collection "Traces of Cubism and other Illusions" and other Illusions, marked mainly due to the respect for the main characteristics of the painter in his different artistic moments while at the same time integrating himself with Di Carpi's style.

The technique employed by Di Carpi in this collection harks back to Picasso's pains and pleasures during his creation, while at the same time applying an understanding of the present. Using “Metal” and “Madeira” as main raw materials, Di Carpi brings in his works the nature of emotions and human relationships, represented by the base in “Madeira” and, in “Metal” is the complexity of the same sensations and the rules of coexistence that shape our society.

Di Carpi's pieces are built with a narrative that encourages the viewer to think beyond the first impression and reflect from multiple angles and versions of the same story.
