He has created these interventions in the public space since 2013 with extensive research. The latter focuses on the genius loci, the protective spirits from Roman mythology. Additionally, they come from the study of elements in the environment.

Furthermore, the material that predominates in his sculptures and installations are the wire meshes, with which he creates architectural spaces that become one with the public space.

Moreover, Tresoldi’s work has been featured in music festivals like Coachella and other art festivals like Iminente. As well as in collective exhibitions, archaeological contexts and public spaces without any artistic background.

In each of these spaces, he has found a way to create amazing sculptures and merge them with the environment, whether natural, urban or artificial.

He always maintains the human interaction and architectural influence of each piece, so it ends up being very interesting for the public to see the results of the sculptures. In addition, the wire meshes create a unique dimension effect, complementing it with other materials that give balance and stability to the pieces. The most recurrent materials are soil, stones, and sand.
