I’ m Veronica, a ceramist on a journey through clay and alchemy. My hands were shaped by the ancient traditions of Montelupo Fiorentino and the symbolic metamorphoses of Prague: two roots that today intertwine into a single way of being and creating.
Ars Melusina is my philosophy of making.
It’s about inhabiting the creative act as a space for listening, transformation and awareness. Melusina, an archetype of the threshold with a dual nature, inhabits multiple dimensions and embraces change, giving it form.
In Lucca, where a particular light glides over the stones, winds through the alleyways and guards secret gardens, this vision has found a home. Here, the two-tailed siren is not merely a frieze, but a secret sign that traverses the city’s time and places. In this light, my practice exists as a threshold between the inside and the outside. Ars Melusina is not merely a place; it’s a practice that can exist in other places, within and beyond us, in clay as in life.
