Caesar Ubertino è nato Pralungo (Italia) nel 1924. Il biellese è sempre stato una Comunità artistica importante. Nel 1965 è andato in Canada, dove, lavorando per architetti, arredatori e collezionisti, Ubertino ha rappresentato e perpetuato l'antica arte europea della metallurgia. Nel corso degli anni, ha sviluppato uno stile particolare, che è diventato caratteristico della sua arte. Oggi è un artista canadese di fama mondiale. Il suo lavoro è conosciuto ed ammirato soprattutto nel Canada e negli Stati Uniti.

The sculptures are born from fire, wrought in fire: flame, sudden changes in temperature, particular techniques and baths bring out the hidden colours and forms. The process that gives harmony and aesthetic rules to these enormous sculptures is a skill not learned easily. The sculptures are forms of beauty born from the elements he uses.

The harsh, rough sheets of copper and brass are hammered, heated to melting point, burned, suddenly cooled and wielded with artistry into symbols; then the tortured nature of the sculptures is softened, made tolerable, almost pleasant, by the falling sound and visual magic of water.

The freshness and living presence of water is part of the artistic work. The sound of the falling and rising water is sometimes gentle, sometimes violent. At times the water is born of the sculpture, at times it seems to lift and give existence to it. The play of light on the reflected and reflecting surfaces creates a continuously changing sequence of variations and modulations.

Wrought iron, stainless steel, copper and brass: these are the metals used to give the sculptures form. It is fundamental to respect and work with the characteristics and qualities of each metal. In these metals malleability varies with temperature; however, brass becomes brittle when heated to melting point and great care must be taken when working it.

Iron and stainless steel are the more formal metals. Form is achieved more from the rigidity than from the colors and hues of the metals. Of the two, stainless steel is even more difficult to work with: its characteristics cannot be changed and they determine the shape and quality of the final work.
