In a captivating display of craftsmanship, a unique art exhibit recently opened in Vietri sul Mare, showcasing the works of 10 talented ceramists and 5 skilled photographers. The exhibit, running until the end of August, highlights the vibrant tradition of Vietri ceramics through a creative collaboration between artists and the symbolic colors of this renowned craft.

Five colors, each representing a different aspect of Vietri’s ceramic heritage, were selected as the themes for the event. In an exciting draw, two ceramists and one photographer were assigned to each color, inspiring a diverse range of artistic expressions.

One of the standout pieces in the exhibit is a stunning vase created by Fabio Mosca.

The color yellow, symbolizing warmth and vitality, was the chosen theme, perfectly captured in the flowing blonde hair of the woman depicted on the vase. The blonde hair, rendered in exquisite detail, dominates the piece, embodying the essence of the yellow hue. This masterful work draws the viewer’s eye, making the hair the true protagonist of the piece, and beautifully exemplifies the rich tradition of Vietri ceramics in a contemporary context.

The exhibit is a must-see for anyone interested in the intersection of tradition and modern artistry.

Embrace in Ceramics: The Art of Intimacy

This ceramic piece beautifully captures the universal language of love through an embrace. The distinct style in which the two figures are drawn highlights the emotional connection between the man and woman. Their entwined forms are simplified, yet the portrayal is intimate and profound.

The outlines are boldly defined, with a stark contrast that focuses attention on the act of embracing itself. There’s a rawness to their construction, suggesting that love, in its truest form, is unadorned and honest. The use of color is deliberate; the red garment of the woman becomes a symbol of passion, while the neutral tones suggest a grounding in something more eternal and steadfast.

Ceramic Reflections: From Clay to Coastline

The enchantment of the Amalfi Coast and the swirling strokes of Van Gogh merge on a single ceramic plate, capturing the vibrancy of a seaside landscape through the artistic process. The work “Ceramic Reflections” presents a dreamlike interpretation where water’s reflection becomes the central character, dancing amongst the waves and spirals of the sky.

In its unfired form, the clay reveals its malleable nature, ready to transform under the fervent heat of the kiln. The colors are muted yet promising, waiting to unleash their full intensity. Even in its preliminary stage, the composition is rich in detail and potential.

After firing, the alchemy of ceramics is unveiled: the deep blue of the nocturnal sky intensifies, creating a dramatic backdrop for the white and welcoming houses. The reflections on the water, with their range of blues, aquas, and touches of white, ignite the landscape with an almost musical dynamism.

This piece unites the tranquility of an idyllic coastal landscape with the tumultuous energy of a moving sky, capturing the spirit of ever-changing nature. It invites the viewer to delve into the depths of ceramics and art, discovering how fire turns clay into a permanent visual narrative.

Duality of Dance: A Ceramic Journey Before and After the Firing Process

In the exploration of ceramic art, the works ‘Duality of Dance’ represent a fascinating journey into the life cycle of clay. The images show two sculptures in two distinct states: before and after the firing process. Before firing, the works possess an earthy, raw quality, the subtly defined details waiting to be revealed. The natural tones of the raw clay harmonise with the soft plasticity of the form, offering a primordial vision of dance.

After firing, the same forms take on a new life: colours intensify, contours solidify and the contrast between the dancer and the background becomes more pronounced. The dance is immortalised in a moment of pure expression, with each movement suspended in time. The vital energy of clay, once soft and malleable, is now transformed into a permanent and resistant structure.

These sculptures celebrate the transformation, not only of the material but also of artistic expression. They show how art can evolve through processes, emerging with new visual identities. “Duality of Dance” invites viewers to reflect on the stages of creation and the subtle but significant changes that define the beauty of ceramic art.

Roccia a Mare

The Legend of Roccia a Mare

Nestled between Vietri sul Mare and Positano along the Amalfi Coast, there lies a hidden gem: the village of Roccia a Mare. With its breathtaking cliffs and picturesque landscapes typical of the Amalfi Coast, one might wonder why it remains largely unknown.

The name “Roccia a Mare” translates to “Rock by the Sea”. Legend has it that the village was named after a massive, solitary rock that stands in the sea, guarding the village like a sentinel. This rock is believed to be the heart of the village’s mystical allure.

Despite its beauty, tourists often find themselves unable to reach Roccia a Mare. Roads that appear clear on maps lead to dead ends, and pathways meander into dense forests only to disappear. But the artists of the Amalfi Coast share a secret: only those with a pure and artistic soul can find their way to this hidden paradise.

As the story goes, centuries ago, the village was threatened by pirates and invaders. The villagers prayed to the spirits of the land and sea for protection. Answering their call, the spirits shrouded the village in a magical mist, making it invisible to those with ill intentions. Over time, this protection evolved, allowing only those with artistic and pure souls to penetrate the veil and discover Roccia a Mare.

Today, artists from all over the Amalfi Coast venture to this secluded haven, drawing inspiration from its serene beauty. They believe that the magic of Roccia a Mare enriches their art, giving it a depth and soulfulness unparalleled elsewhere.

So, if you ever find yourself wandering the Amalfi Coast and stumble upon a village of unparalleled beauty, know that your heart has led you to the legendary Roccia a Mare.

Anastasia

The story of Anastasia is shrouded in mystery and legend, and her figure enchants the imagination of many people. Described as a woman with an enchanting face, piercing blue eyes and ebony-black hair, Anastasia has always attracted the attention of those who meet her eyes.

The story goes that Anastasia came from an aristocratic family of Russian descent during a period of great turmoil and change in her country’s history. In the year 1917, the Russian Revolution led to the fall of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. It is believed that Anastasia was one of the tsar’s daughters, the youngest of the four princesses, and that she escaped the tragic end that befell her family.

After her escape, Anastasia was lost to history and many doubts surround her fate. While some claimed that she died with her family, others claimed that she managed to escape and hide under a secret identity. This fuelled numerous theories and legends about her life after the Revolution.

In later years, several women emerged who claimed to be Anastasia, but their claims were never fully accepted or proven.

It was only in 1991, when the remains of the Romanov family were discovered in a mass grave, that concrete answers began to emerge.

However, it was not until 2007, thanks to further investigations and DNA tests, that the identity of the remains of Anastasia and her family could be confirmed. It was discovered that Anastasia and her younger brother, Prince Aleksej, were buried in a separate grave, thus strengthening the theories that Anastasia had initially survived.

Anastasia’s story has become a symbol of hope and mystery for many, and has inspired numerous novels, films and works of art. Her beauty, with her charming face and intense blue eyes, is often depicted in these works, creating an enduring image of the mysterious woman who may have survived the tragedy of her royal family.

Despite her tragic story and the mystery surrounding her life, Anastasia Romanov remains an enigmatic icon, a woman with black hair and blue eyes who continues to fascinate and inspire the imagination of many.
