After working many years in the Fashion industry, and driven by an immoderate passion for refined and timeless objects, Elisa Uberti naturally decided to turn up to craftsmanship. Sensitive to the beauty of ceramics and handicrafts, she feels the need for a creative freedom and a return to simplicity. As an artist and Designer, she is working from her workshop based in Roubaix.
My Approach
I mainly use stoneware, my favorite material, which I model to create sculptures and lamps with curved and comforting shapes testifying to an ancestral manual gesture. My works form a particular microcosm, far from standardization. A refined universe with multiple mineral and organic inspirations, such as nature, nomadism, architecture and the poetry of space. My work, between art and design, unites tradition and modernity, and is a constant research of volumes and emotional shapes. Sometimes like mini shelters, architectures, refuges, or caves. Protective dwellings for micro-organisms.
