Celestina Spiga’s Celesteceramiche works evoke an ancient history transposed into contemporary times. A sensitive craftswoman who was only 16 when she approached the art of ceramics in a ceramist’s workshop - pupil of the well-known Master ceramist Stelio Mola, whose artefacts were renowned for the line of figurative Sardinian-inspired ceramics – she proved to have a particular manual ability and a clear artistic flair. In 1991 she set up her own business in Elmas, a small town on the outskirts of Cagliari, where she started an impressive production of figures wearing the traditional costume, testifying their style and colours in detail and thus recalling a wide range of local beauty. In particular, over time she has elaborated the female figure achieving solutions that synthesise the sinuous folds of the cloth using little colour, which reveal a much more complex story dating back to ancient traditions. Celesteceramiche productions can be found at the Elmas workshop and in many retail shops in the major tourist centres of the island that specialise in quality artefacts.
