ABOUT

Driven by a constant curiosity for processes and transformations, I have anchored my journey in ceramics, a medium that has allowed me to connect material, memory, and inherited gestures. My training in applied arts, design, and fashion, in collaboration with artisans and publishers, provided me with a deep understanding of craftsmanship and attention to the uses of materials. Early on, diverting industrial materials to invent new formal logics became central to the creation of objects and furniture. This approach gradually revealed that each form carries memory, territoriality, and a set of inherited gestures. My artistic practice, combining sculpture, drawing, and photography, unfolds as a space of hybridization, where raw materials and gestures express a dialogue between past and present, invention and tradition, memory and transformation.

Art and Craft

Art and craftsmanship appear as essential references, opposing the uniformity of industrial production with the singularity of gesture and thought. Rope, used as a guiding thread and metaphor for connections between individuals, eras, and places, extends ancestral gestures. Ceramics, meanwhile, link liquid and mineral states and reveal the historical depth of these practices. Supported by drawing, sculpture, and design, these mediums provide a terrain of exploration where each material becomes a language, expressing metamorphoses, memories, and territoriality. My work is organized as a sensitive archaeology of matter, attentive to uses and heritage, open to interdisciplinary exchanges and the connections between seemingly separate elements.
