Both heirs to ancient art and fiercely dissident, his ceramics combine heterogeneous aesthetics that challenge their distant models. The telescoping of references produces disconcerting cohabitations where Hermès rubs shoulders with Louis XVI without hierarchy. Deep blues, acid greens, and dizzying reds give an insolent luster to his timeless earthenware. Each piece draws a baroque world that exaggerates and overflows, where beauty constantly meets strangeness and mischief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAn impetuous crucifix where the swirling morphology of Christ seems to be one with the burning support of his torture.
