“You can point out a particular care of materials and Raku ceramic technique, which is suitable for quotations of great painters, lighting the essentiality of lines that are perfectly pleasing, both from an aesthetic point of view, characterized by the submission of colours and shapes to decoration, and from a cultural one, appreciable example of contemporary Raku ceramic. Her works show a continuity of sculptural and ceramic production which finds a perfect unity in the creativity, in the taste and in the wise use of colours and materials that makes everything sprung by the artist’s mind and experience, an expression of art.”

“A sagacious use of materials, colours and technique is the main feature in the identity of Antonella Panepuccia, who creates commonly-used objects that are provided of a deep artistic value. The plastic element is perfectly harmonized with the need of an everyday use, emphasizing its artistic aspect through a contrast of glossy red and black glaze on a opaque white background.

Historical and Artistic Critic

 Whether Raku Ceramic had in Japan its ancient masters, in our territory is someone who can be seen as a great priestess of this prestigious sculptural technique. Her name is Antonella Panepuccia and in her hands you can see the revitalization of a kind of art combining practicality and spirituality, to achieve refined and unrepeatable pieces.”  

“The introduction of personalized variations and the free-no-stopped experimentation make this technique an important means of artistic and communicative expression.”
