Milano-native artist Stefano Colferai had aspirations to become a soccer player as a kid and never thought he would find himself in the art world. Things didn’t work out for him in soccer, however, and after a failed sports career he decided to “make his hands dirty.”
After visiting exhibition featuring Disney and Pixar artworks and sculptures, Coferai was inspired to make the characters from various animated movies out of plasticine.
“I’m kind of fascinate by handmade details and “perfect imperfection” and that pushed me to try to make my characters with a material that could emphasize an organic effect to make them more alive. From that moment, I decided to move from digital art to sculpture” – Coferai explained in one of his interviews.
His artworks were soon noticed and praised by social media users from around the world which inspired Coferai to continue pursuing plasticine art.
