What does reclaimed steel remember?
Fire finds the shape inside.
Days pass. The metal speaks.
Now it has a name.

Visitors
What people carry home
Giovanni walks every visitor through personally. What passes between them is the art.
“This one I made from an old ship propeller. I kept the dents.”
Giovanni
“Giovanni walks you through and tells the story behind every single piece. You feel the passion.”
Gallery Visitor
“I was an electrician, then a refinery worker. The steel stayed.”
Giovanni
“More than just seeing art. He shares how he went from refinery worker to opening his own gallery.”
Gallery Visitor
“At night the Light Bearer glows. The whole neighborhood can see it.”
Giovanni
“The Light Bearer at the entrance glows at night — a beacon for the whole neighborhood.”
Gallery Visitor
Your story hasn't been written yet.
You
Electrician. Refinery worker. Then one day — reclaimed steel and a welding torch. No art school. Just the material and the refusal to stop.
The work has to mean
something without you
in the room.
Stay close to the work
New sculptures, gallery openings, and the stories behind the steel — straight from the studio floor.
How tall does 7.1 meters feel when you stand under it?
Can you see the weld marks up close on something this small?
What does the metal sound like when you touch it?
What does Giovanni tell you about the piece standing in front of you?
Where does the steel stop and the name begin?

Before the gallery opens, before the visitors arrive. The workshop is loud, hot, and bright.
Stand far enough away and it looks simple.
Step closer. See where the welds hold the shape together.
Every mark is a decision the steel remembers.
What remains
Every sculpture has a name in Papiamentu.
Curaçao's creole language — born from Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, and West African roots. The names aren't decorative. They're what the steel is about.

Ember — the warmth that remains after fire
Lei di Kausa i Efekto
Law of Cause & Effect.'
Kontinuo
Continuous — flowing steel with no beginning or end
The place
Landhuis Morgenster, Willemstad
A neglected monument, bought and lovingly restored by Giovanni and his wife Angelica. Everything inside was designed and made by Giovanni himself. The gallery opened September 22, 2023.
7.1
G is the 7th letter. A is the 1st.
Number 7 represents God. Number 1 represents Love. Added together: 8, which is infinity.
His metaphor: love, once shared, can last forever.
“I don't name them until they tell me who they are.”
