This work is part of an artistic approach that revisits classical forms through a baroque and contemporary language. Each piece presents subtle variations, linked to the artisanal work of the enamel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3126\" data-start=\"2922\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3043\" data-start=\"2958\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAvailable by order — estimated delivery time: 4 weeks \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3126\" data-start=\"2922\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3402\" data-start=\"3128\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3150\" data-start=\"3128\"\u003eArtwork Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3153\" data-start=\"3150\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eArtist\u003c\/em\u003e: Gérald Schmite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3402\" data-start=\"3128\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTechnique\u003c\/em\u003e: glazed earthenware ceramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3402\" data-start=\"3128\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDimensions\u003c\/em\u003e: H 45 cm × W 38 cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3402\" data-start=\"3128\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/em\u003e: artwork made to order within 4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3402\" data-start=\"3128\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach sculpture is meticulously \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ehand-enameled\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, making each piece unique.

Both heirs to ancient art and fiercely dissident, his ceramics aggregate heterogeneous aesthetics that challenge their distant models. The telescoping of references produces unsettling cohabitations where Hermes coexists with Louis XVI without hierarchy. Deep blues, acidic greens, and dizzying reds lend an insolent luster to his timeless faience pieces. Each piece creates a baroque world that exaggerates and overflows, where beauty constantly meets strangeness and playfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eIn the series of imaginary vases, Ottaviano is a sketch in volume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImprovised, it seems to emerge from memory.
