Today I Love You by Massimo Uberti

An illuminated light artwork displaying the words “TODAY I LOVE YOU” glows in bright white across a grassy area at night. Historic waterfront buildings and city lights form the backdrop, with the text standing out against the dark sky.

About Today I Love You 


“Today I Love You.” A simple yet magical sentence, as if from a dream you don’t want to end. 


But it also raises questions: you might love me today, but what about tomorrow?


Uberti has written the sentence in light. The words have thus become matter. This way you can enjoy the uplifting words again and again. That is exactly what Uberti has in mind: "It is a sentence that I hope will be uttered by everyone every day."


Today I love you, as I will tomorrow.

About Massimo Uberti

The Italian light artist Massimo Uberti was known for minimalistic and sculptural light installations. He created art out of simplistic shapes, often symmetrical and crafted with neon lighting. 


The concept of reduction was central in Uberti’s work. He abstracted his light sculptures to their very essence, hoping to increase their impact by doing so.


Uberti worked together with Marco Pollice, artistic director of the family company Pollice Illuminazion, founded in 1908, a consultancy firm in the field of light.
