The Reader "A Pink Thought"

La lettrice “Un pensiero rosa”- Scultura in ceramica donna che legge.

There is a gentle stillness in this ceramic sculpture of a woman reading,
Handmade, it carries the warmth of a patient gesture,

Realizzata a mano, porta con sé il calore di un gesto paziente,
taking shape as a reader with soft, poetic lines,
able to tell a story without words.

Her pink dress, with its delicate vintage tones,
seems to hold light thoughts,
memories that surface softly, without noise.

She holds an open book,
yet what moves through her gaze feels deeper:
the authentic beauty of small moments,
the ones where we truly find ourselves.

A silent presence,
inviting us to pause,
to breathe,
and to be gently embraced by time.

Technical notes

The sculpture is hand-modeled with a pinkish-toned clay.
The girl’s skin remains in natural clay, while the colored details are enriched with engobes and ceramic glazes.
I applied glossy and satin enamels

The skin is left in natural clay, while the coloured parts have been painted with different hues of engobes (slips) in order to create delicate nuances and plays of colour.
The little face is as small as a hazelnut. The curls are applied one by one and are made of delicate clay strips rolled on themselves.

The tiny book, no bigger than a postage stamp, is hand-painted with care.
The sculpture underwent two firings.
The sculpture underwent two firings at 980°
