Autodidact, He always be passionated by the idea of making nice permanent objects, devoted to embellish domestic and personal environment . His goal is to create potteries, which will resist to the test of time and build a more and more close link with the owner or the users. He believes firmly that an object is more significant if it is made by an individual in a traditional way, than if it comes from and industrial process. In fact, the simultaneous firing of the glaze and the clay body at high temperature, give a unique character to the stoneware and porcelain pottery. The decorations carved directly in the clay body or trough a layer of coloured slip, make obvious this interaction between the clay and glaze. Finally, the wood-firing of pots, because of the flame circulation and ash deposit, improve outstandingly the warm and uniqueness of each piece.
