Using her particular sensitivity and feminine creativity, Paola Paronetto creates objects that intersect with and anticipate new contemporary design trends. Her works express strong personality using very diverse materials, from porcelain and paper clay to terra sigillata (sealed earth) and raku. With a delicate modern flavour, her handiwork ranges from art and various kinds of merely decorative objects, to items for everyday use.
The Cartocci in paper clay are sculptures which are always different from one another, unique pieces with a strong personality. They are completely handmade with a long complex procedure and they can vary in size and shape during the making process or the firing. Therefore the eventual differences are to be seen as an added value and they prove their exclusiveness. Always connoted with a strong personality, Paola Paronetto’s Cartocci acquire an even more individual flavor.
Ego is the version decorated with images of nature. Applicable on many of the objects of the vast Cartocci collection, the images are shown in sepia or burgundy on white. Through the technique of engobe, the object itself can take any color from the wide range of hues proposed by Paola Paronetto. With this customization option, Paola Paronetto not only finds a new way to express herself, but also offers the customer the opportunity to add a very personal note to already unique objects. In fact, the customer can submit his favorite image to the ceramist who, consistent with her expressive style, can apply the image to the chosen Cartoccio.
