Mirko Baselgia prefers to work in and from the context in which he lives and with the production conditions available to him. Although his working methods have changed several times in recent years, the rural alpine environment and nature, the habitat of humans and animals, always play a key role in his work. He does not commit himself to any particular medium, formal language or material, but develops each work from scratch.
