Pre-Columbian Inspiration

At the heart of Francis Petrucci’s work lies a profound appreciation for the uniqueness and beauty inherent in handcrafted ceramics. In these handmade creations, the designer delves into the poetics of transformation and transfiguration that undergird the shaping of raw clay into vases, ewers and sculptural pieces. Her worldly and sophisticated artistic sensibility has always driven her to seek out and explore new horizons, cultures and materials. Describing her creative process, the designer says, “Translating my knowledge to ceramics was a challenge; yet it felt natural. The power of womanhood, the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian culture are ever-present sources of inspiration in my work”.
