Chamarrés and Millefiori “Culbutos” sway alongside starry Bloom “Culbutos”. The “Bleu Vento” sways, while “Astratéo” and “Smalti di pietra” wobble and then stabilize.

The “Culbutos” are a wonderful symbol of the question of balance and imbalance in life, which is inseparable from the artist’s work as a whole, and which is itself interwoven with various explorations and experiments in which matter gives life to color and emotional vibrations. Each of her creations implies this question, which is also reflected in the result of a search for equivalence and balance between color and sculptural values, and contrasting materials. Indeed, her creations are often punctuated by a profusion of cheerful, dynamic colors, contrasting smoky blacks with shimmering, vibrant glazes. They leave the imprint of a pictorial expression, with the free gestures of enamel brushstrokes.
