I’m truly happy to share two commissioned installations created for a private residence on Lake Zurich.
Two works specifically conceived to become part of this elegant home and engage with its spaces.
Seeing my pieces find their place in such a beautiful setting and become part of its identity is a real source of joy and satisfaction.

In the Name of Clay: 50 Years of Italian Ceramic Art, on view at the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga and at the National Museum of Ljubljana (Slovenia) from autumn 2026, presents a survey of contemporary Italian ceramic art through the work of artists who have contributed to shaping the medium over the last five decades.

The exhibition brings together works by internationally acclaimed artists alongside voices from different generations, highlighting the diversity and continuing vitality of ceramic practice today.

My work originates from a series developed during a residency at the Mark Rothko Art Centre in Daugavpils, Latvia, in 2018.

My works are typically delivered with detailed installation maps that allow the client to complete the mounting independently; however, when requested, I am pleased to travel and manage the installation myself to ensure full adherence to the project. It was my first time in Georgia, and I greatly appreciated the opportunity to discover the beautiful town of Tbilisi and its history.
