About
the Artist
For more than twenty-five years I have worked in the field of communication, with a focus on art, culture, education and science. Over the years, I have contributed to major cultural projects in Europe, helping institutions and audiences to connect with artistic heritage in new ways.
Gradually, this experience of shaping stories for others turned into a desire to create my own. Without formal training, I began working with clay. The material felt immediate, grounding, and alive. What started as an experiment soon grew into a practice, driven by my fascination with nature, my interest in history and aesthetics, and the quiet rhythm of life in a large garden far from the city.
Today, my ceramics unite these strands: the storytelling of my professional past, an eye for balance and form, and the raw tactility of natural materials.
The Works
As children we collect treasures – stones, shells, pieces of wood – and sometimes we still do it as adults, walking along the shore. Out of millions, we pick one and hold it. In that moment, touch turns matter into memory.
My work begins with touch.
It arises from an ongoing dialogue with natural forms and geological time. Each piece is hand-built in stoneware, shaped slowly to echo the textures of shells, corals, stones, and other silent witnesses of erosion and growth. The surfaces remain raw and tactile – carrying the traces of pressure and time. Glazes open unexpected depths of colour that resemble water, sky or mineral veins – yet never hide the feel of the material beneath.
These objects are not only meant to be looked at, they invite the hand, the skin and the fingertips. In a time increasingly dominated by the digital, we risk losing the sensual experience of matter: the feel of surfaces, textures and weight. My ceramics seek to restore this connection and remind us of the physical presence of things and the intimacy of touch.
They exist between artifact and organism, contemplative forms that ask to be touched, held and felt.
