My artistic work is rooted in an intimate exploration of clay, a material I've been shaping for over ten years. Through the technique of throwing, I give shape to unique pieces, each imbued with meticulous, thoughtful gestures. This creative process is a constant dialogue between the material and my hands, a silent conversation that gives life to objects imbued with simplicity and meaning.
Mishima, the decoration technique I use, integrates finely engraved motifs filled with colored clays on the surface of each piece. Each decoration is made by hand, taking care to draw lines that interact with the original form. These precise, repetitive gestures not only mark a deep relationship between the object and its viewer, but also anchor these objects in a tangible everyday experience, elevating them to the status of almost rituals.
At the heart of my approach, the relationship between humans and the objects that surround them is paramount. Far from being mere utilitarian objects, my pieces embody an invitation to slow down, observe and reinvest simple everyday gestures. The act of drinking from a cup, repotting a plant in a handmade pot, contemplating a vase becomes a privileged moment, a small personal ceremony. It's this beauty of everyday, often invisible gestures that I seek to magnify through my creations. By sublimating the banal, I wish to remind us of the richness of these suspended moments, at once insignificant and essential.
My work questions the emotional bond we forge with the objects that accompany us in our daily lives. Each piece becomes a witness to our relationship with the intimate and the ephemeral, an invitation to rediscover a little poetry in simplicity.
