I shape emotions into clay and stories into form
Alice Tomelleri is a self-taught ceramic artist who lives and works in Padua, Italy. After discovering ceramics in 2016 at the workshop of the Ceramics School Association in Cadoneghe, she found the perfect balance between her artistic practice and her work as a mathematics teacher. In her studio, she shapes matter into sculptures that speak of femininity, balance, poetry, and spirituality.
The Soul of Her Creations
Through her ceramics, Alice seeks to convey beauty, emotion, and a deep connection with the feminine world. Her figures evoke lightness, inner strength, and gentleness, creating a silent dialogue with those who behold them. Each piece is a fragment of life — a reflection of experiences, dreams, and emotions.
In her sacred creations, Alice portrays Mary as an authentic and close mother, through everyday gestures filled with tenderness. The spirituality in her work is expressed through a deep intimacy, capable of touching the heart.
Themes She Loves to Tell
- The Feminine World
Femininity has a thousand facets, and Alice explores them through bodies and poses that speak of freedom, irony, sensuality, and lightness. - Balance
With the Balance series, she represents the ability to remain poised in life, finding harmony even in the most unstable situations. A universal message of strength and resilience. - Sisterhood and Connection Between Women
She believes in the power of female solidarity, mutual support, and shared experience. Through her art, she tells the story of the deep bond that unites women — an invisible thread of support and complicity. - Sacredness
Her works breathe a sense of spirituality, understood as a connection with oneself and with something greater. Whether in sacred art or in the representation of women, Alice always seeks a soul — a profound essence that brings matter to life.
A Dialogue Through Art
Alice believes that art is a bridge between people — a silent dialogue capable of moving and inspiring. This is why she loves to share her work and creative journey with anyone who wishes to discover the beauty of ceramics.
