Stylised ceramic renditions

  • • Michele is a ceramicist and illustrator
  • • He views ceramics as the synthesis between painting and sculpting
  • • He is inspired by nature, mythology and literature

As a child, Michele Fabbricatore had already discovered his artistic vocation and crafting skills, as he spent hours and hours creating miniature sculptures with play dough and, later on, with clay. Several years have passed since then, involving higher education, professional training both abroad and in his home country, the opening of his own studio, and many international exhibitions. Despite all this, Michele has never lost his attitude of child's play. Both his work and his words reveal the same dreamy and poetic approach that a very passionate child would put into their creations. Over the years, Michele has developed a signature style: his work juxtaposes illustration and ceramics, which he defines as “the synthesis between painting and sculpting”.
