Clay has been my companion since childhood—a silent, responsive friend that has always listened without judgment. Though life led me through many paths, it was only a matter of time before I returned to this elemental dialogue. Since 2011, I have dedicated myself fully to this extraordinary medium, one that is both ancient and alive, tactile and transformative.

​

My work is rooted in hand-built forms, each piece emerging slowly and intuitively, shaped entirely by touch. Working solely with my hands allows me to control every detail and remain intimately connected to the material throughout the process. This tactile approach is not just a technique—it’s a philosophy. I want to feel the clay respond to my fingers, to engage in a direct and personal conversation with it.

​

Born and raised in Italy, I draw inspiration from the vivid imagery of my upbringing—memories that now live as internal landscapes, shaping the contours of my sculptures. These visions guide my hands as I explore the tension between clay’s muscular strength and its delicate vulnerability.

​

I primarily work with stoneware, drawn to its durability and sense of permanence. It is a material that resists time, holding its form and essence through fire and age. Sculpting each piece by hand and firing it at temperatures reaching 1250°C, I engage in a slow, meditative process that allows the clay to speak. The surfaces of my vessels and sculptures are rich with texture—glazed, pitted, and layered with raw oxides—each firing adding depth and unpredictability.

​

Every creation is a personal journey, a tactile exploration of the earth’s primordial essence. Through clay, I seek to capture the quiet power of nature and the emotional resonance of form. My art is not just about objects—it’s about presence, memory, and the enduring conversation between the hand and the earth.
