About me
Having grown up in Salerno, I came to Switzerland as a young adult and opened my art studio Artelier39 in the capital Bern in 2018. Very quickly I achieved numerous successes and worked with important international partners.
I have always had a passion for art, but modelling clay is how I rediscovered myself. Working with the four elements, earth, water, air and fire, inspires and regenerates me.
My creations spring from my emotions, individually crafted and carefully glazed, creating one-of-a-kind handmade pieces.
With my art I want to bring a glimpse of vitality to the world, beeing very happy when one of my masterpiece finds a home.
I am glad to share my art with you.
