My aim is to create lovable, usable, high-quality ceramic objects that provide a wide range of visual and tactile experiences. My creative process consists of constant, focused, yet in some aspects instinctive experimentation with materials, shapes and surfaces. My goal is to capture beauty. This process is an intuitive search for harmony, a quest for delight. Objects born in my hands are imprints of the inner paths of this explorer-researcher-observer mind.
In 2019 I was invited to create ceramic objects for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movie adaptation. A limited number of one off, original pieces were made, half of which were hand selected for the set. Radical, worn surfaces, an otherworldly mood; welcome to the world of Dune.
The latest update brought a number of my recent creations to the site. Black and white objects born from the fascination for opposites, wild-clay experiments reaching back to the roots of beauty, Whispering Globes and other home decor objects in true harmony with nature. Some of them are also available for sale.
My first solo exhibition took place at Újpest Galéria, Budapest, Hungary. Primarily but not only showcasing Whispering Globes, most of them from the Raku harvest of the last 1-2 years. It was ceramicist Gábor Egyházy who invited the audience on a brief journey during the opening reception.
The Spirit of the Maker invokes all four elements – Earth, Fire, Air, Water – and the Raku technique to produce unpredictably unique ceramic objects while keeping their essential harmony with nature… and to create singular, tangible universes.
Truly fascinated by the beauty of the place, local landscapes and people, I had the chance to create Whispering Globes, accompanied by Gaby Picci, Rita Cafaro, Paola Bandini and others. I intended to incorporate all the surrounding natural beauties of Salento in my globes.
