About this artwork
Infinity Key is a series of six sculptures in oxidized iron designed by Paolo Grassi as part of the conceptual project From "0" to Infinity. Each element recalls, in an abstract form, the idea of a key: not to open physical locks, but to symbolically access thought, memory and infinity.
The engraved numbers, rigorously sequential and unrepeatable, identify each sculpture as part of a larger whole. The oxidation of the iron tells of the passing… of time, the transformation of the material, and amplifies the poetic force of the work.
The Infinity Key series is about access and research: six variations on an essential idea, which invites the viewer to question the concept of threshold, the language of numbers and the possibility of an art that opens to reflection.

« With an innate passion for conceptual art, aesthetics, and the harmony of forms and the ingenuity to solve intricate creative situations. »
Paolo Grassi is a Swiss conceptual artist, author of the project “From '0' to Infinity”, which since 2007 has explored the language of numbers as an art form.
Each work is a unique and unrepeatable “Element”, part of an infinite narrative made of different materials, techniques and meanings.
The artist considers his research as a “hymn to the energy of numbers and their ability to generate invisible connections between people”.
His works range from sculpture to painting, from performance to installation.
“I seek the balance between order and chaos, between mathematical rationality and creative impulse,” says Grassi, for whom “even a single fragment can contain the entire universe.” Over 285 works already created are now distributed in public and private collections.
Each new creation is an invitation to reflect on time, identity and infinity.
