Yuriko Damiani. Favole di Porcellana.

She is born into an artistic family in Rome in 1972 with a Japanese mother, painter and teacher of the art of painting on porcelain, and an Italian father, a profound connoisseur of the culture of the Rising Sun. She attends the faculty of Architecture showing however a preference for art and freehand drawing, which she abandons for many years, dedicating herself to interior design and founding the DCube chain of design stores. Only later does she return to her original passion, dedicating herself to and developing a passion for decoration on porcelain. Fundamental for her training was an extraordinary work experience in the studio of Architect Yoshinobu Ashihara in Japan. This experience made her realise the importance of the equilibrium between "solids" and "voids" typical of Japanese art. Her first appearance in the world of porcelain was in Milan in 2014 during the prestigious international conference "XIII Convention Azzurra", where she received an honourable mention for her work exhibited. Since then she has been perfecting her technique by blending Italian and Japanese culture, experimenting with multiple combinations of colours and materials achieving the technique of "antique embossed gold on bright gold". Undoubtedly this combination of oriental and western themes makes her work easily recognizable.
