Embedded Files
Each of my cartapesta sculptures is a vessel of myth and memory, shaped from humble materials such as recycled paper, flowers, or pieces of wood. I seek to give life to timeless archetypes — symbols of transformation, resilience, and the sacred. Working with cartapesta, for me, is not only a creative and ecological act but also a way to reconnect with my Venetian roots. I breathe new life into discarded paper, fallen leaves, twigs, and other organic fragments — a gesture of reverence toward the Earth and its stories.
Minotaur
With a body of paper and a defiant gaze, born from the silence of scraps and remnants of old drawings.
Its horns, woven from a palm leaf gathered on an absent-minded walk, resonate with the echoes of the sierra and the sea.
Guardian of inner corridors, it continues its search,
trying to find the way out of its own labyrinth.
A symbol of strength, mystery, and inner journey.
Pachamama
A feminine papier-mâché head, symbol of memory, quiet strength, and wisdom.
Created from recycled paper and fragments of nature, she carries the spirit of Mother Earth, bearing stories of loss, rebirth, and sacred transformation.
Fragile yet enduring, she reminds us that what is discarded holds profound wisdom.
The Holy Grail
A bowl upon a pedestal, both offering and altar.
Crafted from recycled paper — fragile yet solemn — it holds the memory of silent rituals and hidden wonders.
Born from the remnants of nature, it preserves the essence of the Earth’s quiet gestures.
A poetic testament to reverence and renewal.
The Enchanted Forest
This bowl holds more than a shape: made of recycled paper, branches, leaves, and flowers gathered on quiet walks, it is a fragile cradle woven from the memory of nature.
The papier-mâché murmurs within its folds, sustaining a secret conversation between the forest’s memories and the imagination.
Sara-la-Kali
A blue papier-mâché head embodying Sara-la-Kali, the Gypsy saint — guardian of travellers and wanderers, goddess born from the sea of nomadic souls.
Both Madonna and myth, protector of the errant and keeper of their memories, she is crafted from recycled paper — fragile yet sacred, ephemeral yet enduring — like the journeys of those who roam.
Pilgrim Ark
This papier-mâché boat honors the courage, losses, and hopes of migrants.
Fragile as paper, its forms seem to sway to the rhythm of resilience.
Crafted from recycled materials, its presence is a whisper of memory and life.
Each fold and fragment tells stories of passage and rebirth.
Fragmenta Terrae
This bowl celebrates the beauty of imperfection, inspired by kintsugi, where fragility becomes a symbol of healing and strength.
Made of recycled paper and papier-mâché, it evokes the warmth of terracotta, while its fractured edges tell stories of renewal and sustainable rebirth.
Cradle
This bowl-cradle embraces the fragile essence of nature, gently rocking organic and ethereal forms.
Hand-shaped from recycled paper, its luminosity recalls the softness of porcelain, while its textured details seem to pulse with the rhythm of growth and renewal.
Each fragment holds a whisper of history, transforming humble materials into a small poetic refuge of care, sustainability, and beauty.
