Poetic jungle

Artist and Designer she is working from her workshop based in Roubaix.

She is mainly using stoneware, her favorite material, which she models to create sculptures and lamps with curved and comforting shapes testifying to an ancestral manual gesture. Her works form a particular microcosm, far from standardization. A refined universe with multiple mineral and organic inspirations,such as nature, nomadism, architecture and the poetry of space.

Her work, between art and design, unites tradition and modernity, and is a constant research of volumes and emotional shapes. Sometimes like mini shelters, architectures, refuges, or caves. Protective dwellings for micro-organisms. A subtle balance between the rigor of technical constraints and the necessary freedom and spontaneity of the gesture.

After fifteen years in fashion, Elisa Uberti turned to craftsmanship to develop a more sensitive and timeless practice. In her studio in Roubaix, France, she hand-builds stoneware sculptures with organic and architectural forms, inspired by nature, primitive art, and the idea of dwelling as a protective, contemplative refuge.
