DLMVT: A Sculptural Collaboration between Danilo Di Luca and Mavimatt

DLMVT was born from the collaboration between Mavimatt and Danilo Di Luca, Italian cycling champion and founder of Di Luca Bike.

The artwork brings together the world of professional cycling and Mavimatt’s artistic language, transforming the bicycle into the central element of a collectible art design piece.

The sculpture represents a stylised human figure supporting the bicycle, recalling the posture, tension and physical intensity of a cyclist at the end of a race.

Through this gesture, the work connects movement, effort and victory with the visual strength of contemporary Italian sculpture.

Danilo Di Luca: Italian Cycling Champion

Danilo Di Luca began cycling at a very young age and built an important professional career, winning 54 professional races and the Giro d’Italia in 2007.

After years of competition, he founded Di Luca Bike, a project focused on high-level racing bicycles, carbon processing and the creation of custom bikes with a distinctive identity.

The collaboration with Mavimatt brings together two different but complementary worlds: the technical precision of professional cycling and the expressive research of Italian art design.

How the DLMVT sculpture was made

DLMVT combines a handcrafted sculptural structure with a high-performance racing bicycle.

The black finish was chosen to create visual continuity between the sculpture and the bike, while the yellow detail is applied by hand to evoke speed, energy and the movement of air around the cyclist.

The bicycle frame is made of high-modulus carbon, while the sculptural body is created using fiberglass and carbon-based materials.

The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork that brings together material research, Italian craftsmanship and the symbolic language of cycling.

Presented in a black and yellow finish, DLMVT can include selected customisable details according to the client’s specifications, in line with Mavimatt’s approach to bespoke art design pieces.
