“Shaping with bodyparts + high temperature glazing”

Born in 1959 in Marseille, Karine Benvenuti lives and works in the South of France.

In recent years, her work has  emerged significantly in the sculptural ceramic arts.

After a classic artistic education, she “meets” with clay” which gives her the feeling of “dancing” with the material.

The work of Karine Benvenuti is resolutely entered in the contemporary art.

In ceramics, she retains  the Essential : material and more generally the movements and actions of the body work, the colors (those of the material, and those, minimized, of the stains)  and fire management …
