Seller's Story
Vanessa Bonino (Turin, 1992) is a contemporary artist whose current research focuses on the plastic force of material sculpture. Trained in the cultural fervor of Turin, Bonino has evolved her eclectic style toward an original synthesis between ceramic tradition and digital languages.
Her latest productions testify to a deep experimentation with terracotta and glazed ceramic, where ancestral forms — such as the bull or the carp — are reinterpreted through low-poly geometries or expressionist, highly dynamic sculptures. Her stylistic signature is distinguished by the expert use of color-shifting cold patinas and vitreous glazes, capable of transforming earth into surfaces vibrant with light and color.
Addressing themes related to nature and the metamorphosis of matter, Bonino creates works that are at once solid and fluid, inviting the viewer to reflect on the boundary between the archaic and the future. Her steady rise in the Italian contemporary art scene is confirmed by an ever firmer presence in private collections and dynamic exhibition contexts.
