AP Ceramiche

Agata Piana has been crafting superb ceramic pieces since 2009, the same year she decided to end her career in finance to pursue art. Her love for artisan pottery - following periods experimenting with paint and sculpture - inspired her to work as an autodidact, following the lessons of her high school mentors, masters Elio Romano and Dino Cunsolo. The characters from the Opera dei Pupi - a Sicilian marionette theater and a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage since 2008 - are the subjects of her creations, reinterpreting cultural traditions in a fresh, contemporary key.
