My primary activity is craftsmanship, but in the art world the research should be tireless. I take part in various contests and I have won prizes and distinctions in some important international art competitions. I received an award from the curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I’m very attracted to the world of jewellery. I love the idea of melting precious metals, such as gold and silver. I have already experimented with this process, melting different materials, such as copper and mother of pearl inside ceramics.

Here in Sicily every art object is based on ceramics: we have one of the most ancient pottery traditions in the world. When you touch the clay, a magic is created: the material rules, you can just try to handle it.

If you work with clay, you must always have a very sensitive approach. You can’t handle the material if you are angry or nervous: if you can’t hold back your emotions and your strength, you could break everything.
