“A work of art is not an end in itself, it must transcend the contemporary. The clay becomes a library of emotions, made eternal at the moment of creation”.

Art is an expression of man destined to cross through the ages. It is based on figurative composition and expresses a thought, a message, through beauty and harmony.

I create tiny sculptures, symbolic of the development of man in his cultural and biological evolution. The shape is inspired by an original “chalice”, intended as a symbol of containing and offering, a synthesis of human culture and its relationships.

The Chalice is an object of royalty, dominance, friendship, agreement, sharing. An ancient artifact, a ritual that unites generations and ages in the essential universal gesture of drinking. The model I have chosen is typically used in Italy to taste mulled wine, or vin brulè, to ring in the new year with good wishes.

I identifiy with that form and behave in such a way as for it to be recognizable wherever I am. Then a single iconographic subject, constantly re-edited through the technical use of casting with ancient ceramic moulds that leave traces in the clay, of corroded and worn out craftsmanship.
The artistic interaction has a Neo-Pop dimension in its cadenced repetition of an everyday object, mediated by a primitive gestural action directly on the clay in an instance of Neo-Informal inspiration; conveyed also in its painted.

Sculptures made of footprints, full and empty, of light, flashes and darkness, secrets, mysteries and illustrative quotations. Sometimes in dishevelled compositions stacked together in a celebratory, theatrical sequence.

Like a succession of scenes, the female nude appears here and there in abstract scenographies, executed in her own hand and on the theme of “Jupiter and I” from Greek mythology, and “Leda and the Swan”. Images encrypted in photoceramics, which evoke intimate feelings, of hidden deep desire, confidences.
