Hand-painted silk tapestry depicting an Algerian landscape, inspired by the paintings of Paul Klee. The silk fabric is stretched on a special loom and drawn by hand. The design is then refined with gutta to isolate the various parts, and finally decorated with silk dyes. A painstaking process that requires considerable time to complete. This framed panel measures 80 x 60 cm and weighs just 0.200 grams.
Materials: silk, gutta, silk colors, wood for the frame
Born and raised in Lugano, Switzerland, I moved to Carimate and later to Milan as a young woman. I discovered ceramics in the early 1990s, attending qualified courses and specialized workshops that allowed me to delve deeper into the techniques and develop my artistic sensibility.
I ran my own workshop, first in Brianza and later in Milan, where I held courses for children and adults, also offering assistance to other ceramists and enthusiasts.
Always fascinated by ethnic cultures, particularly African, and by the world of design, I have developed a style that reflects these influences. In my ceramics, I love combining primitive decoration and firing techniques with modern, minimalist lines. My research has focused primarily on experimenting with ancient firing techniques and alternative decoration methods.
In the early 2000s, I moved to San Gimignano, Tuscany, where I opened a new workshop and shop, later collaborating with other artists and creating the Pentarte cultural association.
In 2006, I felt a strong pull from my roots and decided to close my business in Tuscany to return to live in my hometown, Lugano.
