Maria Eugenia Piacentini

Piacentini

Eugenia is a self-taught artist, who learnt and worked in a variety of disciplines, including special effects (for theatre and film). She later received further training at the La Palma Art School in Madrid and the Francisco Alcántara School of Ceramics.
She has exhibited both in individual and group shows in Mallorca, Madrid, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Ourense, Rome, Miami, Paris, Zurich, Singapore, Coburg, and Munich.
She loves the deep and detailed work of ceramics because she feels a deep resonance with this spontaneous and faithful medium that allows her work to speak for itself. She believes she is a cultural channel through which the world of ideas and magical expressions can flow freely. The reality in which we live is revealed to her as a pure and undiluted focus to search for the source through her work, perhaps in a quest to delve into her existential doubts revolving around anthropology. Her focus on realism and tension through form is the audacious means by which she hopes to leave a deep impression on her viewers. Her work aims to both create and destroy identifications and empathies.

To which distant horizon do you rush on your adventures? The adventures of your own myth, which is also a universal myth, united with all the other myths. Life itself is a myth. The heroine’s journey, who returns after undergoing symbiosis, after having reaped learning and after defeating her own dragons. The hard-won victory fills with symbols of wisdom and intuition, with colours and shapes. Monomyth Symbiosis

From humankind’s first steps on this earth, to the existential questions we have been asking ourselves throughout the millennia, what lies deepest inside us, deeper even than our roots and mental conceptualizations, is a sense of belonging to a whole. This intuition is ingrained in our primitive brain and struggles to divest itself of all superficial mimicry. From laws to dogmas, everything is superfluous in this disencumberment. In these times our exterior obliges us to examine our interior,
