Federico Soffiato

Federico Soffiato is a Venetian artist known for his thought-provoking sculptures that address contemporary social and environmental issues. His recent work, the 'Madonna della sana convivenza', critiques intensive farming practices by reinterpreting a classic religious icon to highlight the plight of farm animals. The sculpture is made from polylactic acid, a biodegradable plastic, and aims to raise awareness about the conditions in which animals are raised in industrial agriculture. Soffiato's work is part of a larger tour that seeks to engage audiences across Europe in discussions about food ethics and compassion towards animals.
