✦ Maurizio Cenci – The man who sculpts the wind (Italy)
With his impressive aerial structures, Maurizio Cenci has established himself as one of the great names in European kite art. Renowned for his creations presented at the Cervia and Vulandra festivals, he designs kites that are no longer playful objects: they are veritable flying sculptures, often asymmetrical, playing with tensions and opposing forces.
He frees himself from classical geometry and builds his works in spinnaker cloth, carbon and fibreglass, in an aesthetic of movement and instability. With a subtle touch of humour, his kites are unique pieces that combine technical skill and poetry, pushing back the limits of balance and lightness.

Kadek Kite✦ Kadek Dwi Armika – The balancing act in the sky (Bali)
Kadek Dwi Armika, originally from Bali, is an artist and architect for whom kites are as much an art as a sacred rite. Introduced to traditional kite-making by his father at a very early age, he has perpetuated this ancestral know-how while injecting a contemporary and personal approach.
His materials are simple and natural: rattan, leaves, fabric and paper. But his approach is that of an inventor: he deconstructs to reinterpret, transforming inherited forms into sensitive, fragile aerial objects, deeply rooted in the link between man and the wind. Committed to passing on his culture, he also trains younger people, including his own son. Winner of the Dieppe creation competition in 2022, Kadek returns in 2025 with new pieces that are at once technical, spiritual and poetic.
