For this plate, I took inspiration from the Grimm brothers’ tales, which I find unsurpassed in their capacity to sweep us into worlds of times now long gone that perhaps never existed but in our own imagination.
I wanted to show how majolica can evoke these atmospheres just like illustrations from fairytale books can, images in which I very gladly used to lose myself in my childhood.
