About the art
Artist statement
Among all the media I experimented, ceramic is the one that let me express myself the most. In particular I work with porcelain Paper Clay, a mix between porcelain and paper, a real ceramic technique that allows great freedom and enabled me to find a new and personal way to express myself.
All my work concerns fragility and lightness. It's a non-conceptual approach that investigates the chances of the material, leading to its extreme consequences. The “Arcanae exuviae” series talks about what is left from another life. This pieces, very different one from another, represent what remains of unidentified life forms. Lives from the past or lives from the future, we don't know, but we are urged to imagine and ask questions about them... All this artworks want to evoke different and parallel worlds in which we can immerse ourselves and
free our imagination. "Big clustered soft cocoon" is built wit the help of cotton fibers, adding one cocoon at a time and then firing the complete work in the electric kiln at 1260° C.
