Maria Giuliana Collu’s ceramics can be placed on the fine line that links art to craftsmanship, pure aesthetic form to everyday objects, contemplative inspiration to the concrete wisdom of manual handcrafting. Born in Assemini, Maria Giuliana first handled clay as a child in the handicraft workshop of her aunt and uncle, who were potters. Creative and with a natural artistic flair, she took several artistic paths, experimenting different techniques and sectors. A milestone in her artistic path was the encounter with a Japanese artist that opened up new expressive scenarios. She rediscovered ceramics as an elective form of expression almost by chance; thanks to this, she also rediscovered her origins, as point of arrival of a long artistic experience. The original intuition was followed up thoroughly through numerous specialisations thanks to which her production has a national and international standing. Her effective creations, marked by a clear “language”, are promoted in events and exhibitions that bring together the excellences of the sector, Argillà Italia in Faenza, Festa Internazionale della Ceramica in Montelupo Fiorentino, Fuori Salone in Milan, Centro Des Art in Portugal, just to name a few.
