Pasqualotto is multi-disciplinary artist who makes connections between elements drawn from the earth and their transformation through manipulation. The material in question always has something ancestral or tectonic about it, upholding references to time: copper, lead, stone and fossils. The fragility of existence, fleeting time, life and death—all are constant features of his work. Pictorial factors and those that are not are brought together into the same conceptual framework by means of everyday objects, whose newly acquired functionality has an aesthetic character. The artist considers his work to be in the tradition of Arte Povera, as represented by Luciano Fabro, Merz or Kounellis, with reference to Tàpies as well.
