Maria Licheri

  • This clear reference to one of the main figures of the local artistic production is reinterpreted with taste and artistic skill, turning a simple bowl into a top-quality decorative element. It is available in the Moorhen variant and different ans sophisticated colours.

  • This brocade bowl is inspired by the rich brocade fabric used in traditional Sardinian attires, precious elements of the decorative imagery reinterpreting, in an innovative way, the local material culture.

  • A sculptural object of clear artistic value, it is part of a remarkable series that the artist produced inspired by the ex voto finds of the Punic tombs.

  • This ceramic base for a lamp has a refined cylindrical line and its style evokes in the decorations the symbols of the local iconographic tradition, expressed in a modern key and with an elegant composition characterised by perfect harmony.

  • The sophisticated forms of the marine world inspire this Shell centrepiece, an original artistic and fascinating object. The particular relief work, embellished by the charming glaze colours, is emphasized by the intense black contrast, clear reference to the mysterious sea depths.

The artisan

Maria Licheri, who is deeply in love with her land, has the privilege of being able to express herself by using her "soil". Being engaged is a culture marked with a deep ethnic approach, she would have probably fossilized on trivial themes. On the other hand, she studied with renowned Faenza sculptor Melandri, and was awarded a diploma at the Liceo Artistico di Cagliari, honing her skills as a potter at Giuseppe Rossicone's studio in Milan. He then participated in the most important sector exhibitions in Italy and abroad, being awarded several prizes and quotes in articles that read "her pieces witness a research focused on both shape and colour, highlighting rich motifs and complex elements, making them extremely refined". The experience gained in her long-lasting activity is a sign of her top level craftsmanship.

The collection

Her production includes a wide range of furnishing objects but also sculptures and jewellery. A deep professional culture that shines through the bright colours and balanced shapes of bowls, vases, plates, lamp bases; deep meanings that sculptures evoke and tell us; colourful finely crafted jewels. A magical and fascinating world that is a pleasure to experience.

The technique

Each object is decorated with precious and unique motifs and techniques, made entirely by hand using clay decorated with enamels, gold and unusual materials, which the artist customizes and transforms.
