Descrizione Personale: 

Graduated in Psychology and Landscaping, but always with the desire to work with clay. For years she has had her own atelier where she builds a wood oven. On her pieces, produced by hand, she works instinctively, she tries to express herself with creative freedom in relation to movement: cuts, lightness and proportions of nature, thus finding a spontaneous balance between form, tone and structure. Aurea is mainly inspired by both organic movements such as marine corals, flowers, tree leaves, and by using the harmonic proportions of female forms, incorporating them into the forms of her works. She has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions.

 Laureata in Psicologia e paesaggistica, ma da sempre con la voglia di lavorare l’argilla. Da anni ha un suo atelier dove ha costruito un forno a legna. Sui suoi pezzi, prodotti a mano, lavora in modo istintivo, cerca di esprimersi con libertà creativa in relazione al movimento: tagli, leggerezza e proporzioni della natura, trovano così un equilibrio spontaneo tra forma, tono e struttura. Aurea prende principalmente ispirazione sia dal movimento organico come coralli marini, fiori, foglie di alberi, sia utilizzando le proporzioni armoniche delle forme femminili, incorporandole nelle forme delle sue opere. Ha partecipato a numerose esposizioni nazionali ed internazionali.
