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.
