Fiorenza ceramics

For the vase collection, I worked a lot on exploring glazes, experimenting with different techniques and firings.
The difference between clay, stoneware and glaze melts into different layers that cover the shapes, but without taking this classic distinction too much into account.
Working with ceramics for me is like painting: the pastiness of the glaze, the colour, the brushstrokes on the surface of the pot, create a whole with the form that remains respectfully traditional.

This is an ever-evolving pot collection. The theme is the exploration of enamel and white surfaces applied in different layers and firing until the desired surface and white shade is reached.
Pots differ in size and shape.

The plates are all moulded on a lathe and decorated with cobalt oxide on white matt enamel. The drawings are improvised without reference models or preparatory sketches.  Portraits, vegetation and animals are the themes stimulating my painting both on canvas and ceramic. Each plate is a unique piece.
