This work illustrates the artist's unique approach, mixing formal abstraction and poetic bestiary, in the spirit of Swiss ceramic design of the 60s and 70s.

This zoomorphic piece impresses with its size, sculptural presence and stylized elegance. The glazed ceramic body features subtle shades of blue and green. The metal spout, finely integrated into the whole, adds visual tension and a contrast of materials which accentuate the dynamics of the sculpture.
