Artist and Designer she is working from her workshop based in Roubaix.
She is mainly using stoneware, her favorite material, which she models to create sculptures and lamps with curved and comforting shapes testifying to an ancestral manual gesture. Her works form a particular microcosm, far from standardization. A refined universe with multiple mineral and organic inspirations,such as nature, nomadism, architecture and the poetry of space.
Her work, between art and design, unites tradition and modernity, and is a constant research of volumes and emotional shapes. Sometimes like mini shelters, architectures, refuges, or caves. Protective dwellings for micro-organisms. A subtle balance between the rigor of technical constraints and the necessary freedom and spontaneity of the gesture.
After working many years for Fashion, Elisa Uberti naturally decided to turn up to craftsmanship. Sensitive to the beauty of ceramics, she feels the need for creative freedom and a return to simplicity. Since 2018 she's been working from her workshop based in Roubaix, north of France. She is mainly using stoneware, which she models to create sculptural design with curved shapes. Her works form a particular microcosm, far from standardization. A refined universe with multiple inspirations, such as nature, nomadism, architecture and the poetry of space.
