Inma (2022) Painting by Edel Rzepka

Hello, this is my story: I studied Fine Arts in Argentina and later, in Spain. I found myself living in the city of ceramics, in Talavera de la Reina, so fate wanted me, like my grandmother Edeltraud, to have knowledge of ceramics, so I also studied artistic ceramics in a great school.

I was born in Argentina, I am Italian and I live in Cudillero, Spain. Since I was a child I have made works of art, modifying my room or creating art from small anecdotes.

I am an artist because art has given me the opportunity to transmit and explore my emotions through creation. I use painting, ceramics or photography to connect with my environment, to experience what is immaterial and turn it into a message, or that is my goal, to work to decipher my experiences and emotions.

I have always felt attracted to the works of great artists, seeing what they are capable of creating from their way of feeling is an aspect of the human being that fascinates me.

Photography was the first technique that I experienced from an early age, and I am attracted by its immediacy and versatility. At the same time, he was experimenting with paint, color and pictorial materials. Much later, I came across ceramics.

Ceramic is a constantly changing organic material, with unexpected and changing aspects, and I was immediately seduced by this characteristic.

In all my works, I experiment with color and with the seduction of forms, and I am interested in transmitting an emotion, for me the message is important and not the form or the perfection of a technique.

To create my works, I let myself be carried away by the memory of an emotion or an experience, and the shapes and colors develop around this idea.

I am fascinated by the brutality of the expressionist movements, the artbrut and the artistic currents in which emotion, light, or sensitivity was the objective of the work.
