Artistic
Journey
A journey through clay, the potter's wheel and the Mediterranean.
The artistic practice of Marco Terranova has developed through more than three decades of encounters with ceramics, art and Mediterranean culture.
From his early ceramic training in Seville to periods of study and research in Italy, Greece, Morocco and across Spain, the journey has gradually shaped a personal language in which the potter's wheel becomes the origin of sculpture.
