MEETING WITH AUTHORS
SATURDAY, NOV. 15th, 12 am -7:30 pm
SUNDAY, NOV. 16th, 11 am – 2 pm

Evolutions is a journey that brings together different languages, each in dialogue with its own material and new possibilities for form. A mosaic of transformations between continuity and new perspectives, connecting different authors and creative processes.
The works presented demonstrate research paths that engage with change, interpreting material as a field of experimentation and a tool for shaping new expressive identities.

Elica Studio – Anatomika,
the human body as a great system of signs and symbols.
Celebrating the human body by dissecting it.
We are expression, beyond words and gestures. A perspective of the flesh in which certain parts become containers.
Here are hands, feet, and teeth, crafted in porcelain with a figurative “dissection”:
not containers of nerves, veins, bones, or blood, but of ideas and messages.
Awareness of man as architecture, as a column, a capital, but also as a vase, a relationship between reality and appearance that we are still trying to resolve.
Elisabetta Bovina and Carlo Pastore, Elica Studio, design and create collections in stoneware and porcelain.

Daniela Boni -Virile,
“Different Ornaments” are born from a fascination with the natural world, the energy of stones, wood, branches, roots, buds, and gems.
Daniela Boni lives between London and Turin, focusing on a continuous search for fascinating forms and seductive inspirations.
Minerals are imbued with significant energy; they are the link between the human dimension and nature.
Her jewelry creations are the intermediary between earthly reality and an enchanted world of vibrant energy.
The highly tactile quality of these sculptural ornaments is linked to the desire to represent natural surfaces.
Each piece made of leather and crystals is a unique and unrepeatable object endowed with strength and energy.

Clara Del Papa – Caskets,
precious seeds that become form and domestic gesture.
Casket knobs, wall jewelry made of bronze and pearls.
Treasure chest knobs, wall jewelry in bronze and pearls.
Unique creations by Italian-Venezuelan artist Clara Del Papa, whose new collection blends her profession as an architect and her experience in goldsmithing. A natural transition from body jewelry to jewelry for the home.
Her creations combine symbols and inspirations, flavors and scents, distant landscapes and traditions, reimagined in antique silver, gold, and bronze, complemented with resins, earth, and sand. For Clara, metal corroded by natural agents such as balsamic vinegar imitates the surface of wood in every way, bringing to mind densely intertwined branches or even a nest. Her research is accompanied by a touch of magical realism that poetically translates a careful technique and a profound understanding of the ambivalent relationship between demiurge and metal, where the latter allows itself to be shaped, yet in turn suggests forms and finishes.

Adele Biscaretti – Sō,
matter shifts from line to curve, to transfigure from layer to work.
Sculptures enclosing vases, a project made of worked and hand-dyed cardboard.
The project, made of double-corrugated cardboard, plays with the material’s layering, volume, and shape.
Cardboard is a humble material, used to package and protect other objects; this project makes it the protagonist itself.
The material’s characteristics are expressed in all their potential. The cardboard shifts from line to curve, from straight to spherical, transfiguring from layer to piece.
Suspended sculptures, sinuous tables, sculptures enclosing vases.
The simplicity of the material draws attention elsewhere, enhancing the intuition and harmony of the forms;
and thus, cardboard from a means becomes an end.

Ortiz Gadler – Fairy-tale Reliquaries,
beginner’s guide to the miracles and healings of fairy-tale characters.
Reliquary boxes, unique decorative objects that rework central elements of sacred art in a contemporary way, with a delicate touch of humor.
Ethel Ortiz and Dolores Gadler are two artists who create papier-mâché sculptures and paper dioramas, created through collage or, as they like to call their work, paper paintings.
Their creations are the result of a process of deconstruction, construction, and reconstruction.
They work with paper because it is simple and pure, yet at the same time a reflection of life, images, and thoughts.
In their creative practice, each element that composes the collages loses its individual identity to become part of a new collective piece, which is then meticulously hand-cut into many pieces and reassembled layer upon layer.

Sau-Lun Yeung – Cabinet of Symbiosities,
thoughtful use of original materials that are based on existing narratives.
Jewelry in silver, semiprecious stones, flowers, and insects. Unique pieces that blur the lines between nature, politics, and personal memory.
Sau Lun Yeung (Hong Kong) combines East Asian cultural heritage with an international background in contemporary art and design. Her work stems from a sensibility deeply rooted in the dialogue between memory, identity, and environment. Through jewelry, she explores how materials and symbols can transform into emotional and political languages, creating forms that unite personal intimacy and collective vision.
