all of my products are handmade and i often like to start by doing a sketch with pantones, letting myself be inspired by what i see around me or what i feel inside.
i find the initial sketch a fundamental tool in the creation of the project, necessary to focus attention on the composition, between shapes and colors.
i am fascinated by color contrast and a vibrant, imperfect type of illustration where reality and imagination meet to create well-defined curves supported by a palette full of bright colors.
each piece is entirely hand molded and decorated using a local white clay made from a mixture of kaolin clays and calcium and magnesium carbonates.
no piece is exactly the same, which lends uniqueness in look and feel. Signed by maker See less
