CHIRON. THE HAND THAT HEAL

A renewed vision of porcelain

Crafted in porcelain using the coil technique — a path rarely explored with this material due to its demanding plasticity and shrinkage — CHIRON allows me to build organic volumes and reliefs that are part of my artistic imprint, now taken to a territory seldom visited in porcelain.
It is both a technical and conceptual challenge that opens a new language in my work: strength, fragility and wisdom within the same skin.

In astrology, Chiron represents the deep wound our soul comes to heal. In mythology, Chiron is a centaur abandoned at birth who, after knowing pain in both body and soul, chose to transform it into wisdom, love, and compassion. He is called 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿, because by helping others with their wounds, he also eases his own.

This figure resonates in my work as a living myth.
𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱 presents pieces born from gesture, matter, and living processes. Organic forms, sometimes fragile or cracked, where 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 and 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿-𝗼𝗳-𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹 do not hide the wound but reveal its wisdom. Some pieces shine both from within and outward: light seeps through the fissures and emerges precisely where we break.

The choice of the highest quality materials is not accidental. 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻, noble and resistant, embodies inner strength that endures over time. 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿-𝗼𝗳-𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹, slowly covering the wound, and the 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹 that is eventually born from it, symbolize patient and luminous transformation. The bleeding of the wound becomes 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱, no longer concealing but flowing as a radiant path. Nothing here is ornament: each finish is both symbol and process of life.

This series emerges from the 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 project and dialogues with 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 as an image of returning to one’s unique beauty and personal power.
