The main feedstock may be called “plastic pottery”, “ceramics” or clay polymer. A light, flexible and resistant material that makes possible the creation of many objects. The beginning of the work with the plastic pottery was through the use of a millennia
Also known as “Clay Polymer” or “Plastic Paste”. It is a synthetic material that, when raw has a kind of paste consistency, making it possible to create countless drawings and forms. After baked, it becomes resistant providing durability and comfort. The final result consists in artworks with unique characteristics.
“Millefiori” is an Italian word that combines two other Italian words: “Mille” – thousand, and “Fiori” – flowers, its meaning, however, goes far beyond.
The “Millefiori” technique was probably born at Mesopotamia, a million years ago. Evidences show that in Old Egypt it would already be possible to find ornament objects produced through this technique that was rediscovered in the XV Century by the Alexandrians and was than named “Millefiori”
In 1921 the artists who mastered the “Millefiori” art in Venice were isolated in the Murano Island, under death threat and with the excuse that their ovens would burn the surroundings in fire. The real reason however, was to preserve their techniques from anybody else. Countless works of art that nowadays are of great value were created. But people who worked with the glasses wanted to be acknowledged all over the European Continent. During the World War II, in 1945 it almost disappeared, emerging again in the end of the War. After 1980 the technique was spread all over the world. Plastic canes and other materials such as colored plastic pottery are used to shape mosaics in a totally handmade work.
The simplest example is that of a roll, slicing transversely the “murrines”, creating forms and drawings according to each one’s creativity. It is a quite elaborated work that requires devotion, endeavor, creativity and love for the work of art that turns the creation of several objects possible.
Always with the wish of making something new, stylized and hypnotic drawings that carry characteristics of the Brazilian culture are created. They perform a mixture of strong colors, causing an effect of luminosity and movement on the drawings, always trying to improve the artworks in a tireless search for perfection.
