Matt Marga is a London-based Italian artist.[1][2]
Matt Marga is represented by the Ventique art gallery in London, UK. In the past few years Marga has been exhibiting in the UK, Italy and the UAE but spent the majority of his career creating sculptures for private commissions.
He has produced two sculptural bodies of work inspired by nature:
The media he uses are crystals, metal and glass. He is mostly fascinated by the ability of crystals to diffract light in different colors.

The London Geodes sculpture is created with the intent of reproducing geodes in an urban context. They are formed by structures made out of laser cut panels later covered in metal with a cold casting technique. The material is then hand-polished. Cracks created as part of the sculpture are then covered in crystals and lit up with the aid of LED lights. The cold casting technique is more ecologically sustainable than the traditional casting via the melting of metal.[citation needed]
Marga's intent in his London Geodes body of works is to recreate the mountains, the peaks, and valleys that used to host these stones before they were extracted and turned into sellable goods.[citation needed]
The pieces of the Stargaze collection are created by melting sheets of glass, and crystals are positioned over the molten surface. Once dry, the crystals appear embedded into the glass, suspended inside. Each piece is installed so that it hovers in front of the wall.
This new sculpture between the V&A and Natural History Museum on Exhibition Road, London, commemorates Prince Albert's bicentenary anniversary. It resembles a modern, faceted obelisk that has been inspired by Albertopolis.[10]
