Fish heads and bodies form part of a series of wall and floor installations depicting fish, whales, shells and fins. By using “half bodies”, Nicolo explores a contemporary human condition, the dichotomy between a desire to appear in public while feeling a strong need to escape behind closed doors. He chose the maritime theme because life emerged from the sea.

This wide-eyed ochre majolica owl is part of Nicolo’s Faune e Flora series, in which classical ceramic shapes morph into birds and plants.

These majolica statuettes representing women serve as candlestick holders. The women are dressed in traditional clothes found in the south of Italy, in tones typical of the region.
