ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Among all the media I experimented, ceramic is the one that let me express myself the most. In particular I work with porcelain Paper Clay, a mix between porcelain and paper, a real ceramic technique that allows great freedom and enabled me to find a new and personal way to express myself. All my work concerns fragility and lightness. It's a non-conceptual approach that investigates the chances of the material, leading to its extreme consequences. I also want to develop a reasoning about archetypical forms of everyday objects (vase, bowl, plate...), looking for a mimesis process that turns the nature of the object in something different. The “Les impressions” vases are shaped on a balloon, obtaining different shapes any time. The base is obtained with a slab. The porcelain is colored in bulk and added on the balloon with a brush. then the pieces are fired at 1260° C. in an electric kiln. This vases want to be icons of European cultural heritage. Impressionism, expressionism, abstractionism and other suggestions of the European modern art of the last century came out from this works as if they were a coffer of precious values. Inspiration: Claude Monet, sunrise.

M'I lumina is an exclusive Porcelain Paper Clay brand dedicated to contemporary ceramic. M'I lumina came to life at the beginning of 2015, from the eclectic mind of Luciana Grazia Menegazzi. Born in Milan in 1961, she graduated in Architecture in 1988. During her career she has also had experiences as a Teaching Assistant at Politecnico of Milan, and took part in various design competitions. Pottery expert, collector of italian majolicas from the '30s and '40s, design and handmade enthusiastic, she was charmed by paper clay, a modern but ancient material, made of clay and paper cellulose. She experimented with “bone china” porcelain in particular, whose elegance, resistance and transparency she really appreciate. So she created M'I lumina, a Milan-based hand-made brand, whose mission is to create exclusive lamps and furnishings, with an high handcraft content and an absolutely original design. A M'I lumina piece of design is way more than its function or a trend, it is an iconic and evocative creation. The paper clay itself, the use of recycled paper and the organic forms, inspired by the vegetal and animal world, make the M'I lumina creations the protagonists of a refined but eco-friendly idea of interior design.
