About Me

Introduction

“I am ironic, open mind and liberal, I love modern and contemporary art, sailing, cinema, music and a good glass of red wine. I never know exactly where to go, backwards, forwards or stay still. Generally … I go. “

 

What I Love about Ceramics

My works arise from the confluence of different techniques of modeling, and are the result of continuous research on balance and harmony of forms. Inspired by nature, I create sculptural, decorative, conceptual works, as well as commonly used pieces. I prefer soft lines and irregular contours trying to balance perfection and imperfection. Earth, water and fire are my way to reinvent the stone.

 

How I started with ceramics

  In 2014, I met the clay thanks to the passion of the great Florentine sculptor Amalia Ciardi Duprè who influence me. It was a short step from sculpture in terracotta to the desire to experiment with other materials and techniques. I attend courses at the Montelupo Fiorentino school, and porcelain courses with Martha Pochon. In 2017 I open a ceramic studio in the historic center of Florence, where I produced my own creations, especially in stoneware and porcelain, and I teached ceramics courses while also hosting potters.

  In 2023 I moved my laboratory to the hills of Florence, among nature and the scents of the Mediterranean bush: a new beginning certainly for my ceramic experimentation in a more ecological and peaceful context.
