Florence Corbi: Selected works, 2020-2024

Inspired by Mediterranean mythologies and the interactions between industry and nature, my creations are often built from raw forms that evoke industrial production. Boxes, knotted fabrics, cardboard, cubes, etc. are reused in an upcycling process. These raw structures are fully wrapped in porcelain, over which I create a myriad of delicate handmade motifs, freely inspired by plants, flowers, or corals. With their profusion, they express the energy of nature and the hope of its triumph, like so many precious stones of life set in the raw magma of forgotten, abandoned objects.

Florence Corbi’s creations reveal how porcelain lends itself to multiple elegant and refined forms.
Corals, flowers, and unexpected vegetation decorate various surfaces with a constant inventiveness dominated by a form of poetry. This artist multiplies the details, the cutouts, and the additions, making the most of the porcelain’s finesse. A vibrant light exalts these original works born of a constantly renewed imagination, while the white of the material gives a particular radiance to each model. We appreciate these milky creations, sometimes so fragile in appearance.
Florence Corbi sublimates this material with a powerful imagination. Her art inspires admiration for these lively and ever-changing plant decorations; each piece is a discovery.
