The beauty of raw matter
- • Fabio's ceramics are inspired by East Asia
- • Glazed surfaces and elaborated textures are his signature
- • He creates simple shapes with elaborate details
Fabio Ciancaglini came to ceramics later on in life. After a master's degree in architecture, he attended the Albertine Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and worked for a while as a painter and engraver. Back then, the only ceramic pieces he knew were the traditional hand decorated Italian ones, which he didn’t like very much. Ten years ago, though, he discovered the Oriental style and he fell in love with its formal simplicity. That’s why he decided to learn the fascinating art of ceramics. He took private classes for two years and then he went to La Borne in France, for an internship with master Françoise Blain. "Ceramics cannot be improvised: many years later, I feel that my training is still in progress," he says.
