Silver SENTIMENTI (1970) - ITALY/ act. France - 3 Astrolables - Mixed media - L 15 x W 18 x H25 cm - Unique Piece - 2022. Gallery certificate will be given to the buyer. Silver Sentimenti is a ceramist and ennobler. He has grown up in his family’s sewing workshop, surrounded by fabrics and patterns. Fascinated by this environment, he decided at an early age to become a craftsman. In 1984, he enrolled at the Istituto Gaetano Ballardini in Faenza, studying ceramic sculpture, and went on to study set design at the Bologna School of Fine Arts. In 1997, an opportunity in costume design in haute couture took him to Paris and led him to dedicate part of his career to this sector. But in 2007, Silver Sentimenti decided to refocus his work on ceramics, gestures and time. So, he set up his ceramics workshop in Normandy, where he has been making one-off pieces and limited editions for private customers in France and abroad. Research and innovation Silver Sentimenti’s work is inspired by his professional experiences as a model-maker, couturier, and costume designer. When he creates, he combines the arts of fire, couture, and sculpture. He works with stoneware from Burgundy or Noron, and porcelain from Bavaria and Limoges. For each of his creations, he forms his piece in raw clay, which he then perforates with holes. After firing, he embroiders them with leather straps and metal elements. Silver Sentiment takes great care to ensure the origin and quality of its leathers, sourcing them from a leathershop in Brittany, where they are vegetable-tanned in France. Transmission Silver Sentimenti is keen to pass on his expertise. Over his career, he has taught his skills in DMA high schools and at the IFM, as well as running ceramics workshops and turning courses. Today, he continues to teach in the textile DNMADE program and welcomes trainees to his workshop every year. Fondation Rémy Cointreau and the gallery des Ateliers d’Art de France has supported Silver Sentimenti in the acquisition of a ceramic.
