Messages in clay
- • Paul founded his workshop in 1988
- • The first piece he made was of a pregnant female torso
- • He showcased pieces at Miami Art Basel Week in 2016
Paul Scerri began his artistic journey in the 1970s at the Malta School of Arts, and subsequently earned a scholarship at the Accademia delle Belle Arti Pietro Vanucci in Perugia. Here, he discovered clay as an artistic medium, and decided to hone his clay shaping skills at the Istituto Statale D’Arte G. Ballardini in Faenza as well as in Imola. His ceramic sculptures are an expression of layered perceptions that at first sight appear to depict stereotypical figures, but upon closer inspection, reveal nuances of injustice and narcissism. Paul uses his technical expertise in the creation of his own glazes for each of his ceramic sculptures, every piece is intentionally created with care and devotion. His ceramic sculptures reflect his desire to be as innovative as possible in his choice of textures and colours. Each is an individual masterpiece relaying a silent message, while always remaining open to free interpretation.
