Laura Pasquino
Laura Pasquino (b. 1987, Estonia) is a ceramic artist based in Amsterdam,Netherlands. Before opening her own studio in 2019, she honed her craft inKyoto, Japan, and Lisbon, Portugal. Her artistic practice is deeply rooted inexploring the textures, forms, and rhythms of nature, which she translates in other ceramics.
Laura’s work is distinguished by its focus on spherical forms, creating both functional vessels and sculptures inspired by natural forces and formations. She embraces the spontaneity and tactility of clay, often highlighting imperfections and variations as integral elements of her pieces. Her use of earthy colors and textures emphasizes the natural beauty of the material, while her minimalist approach seeks to achieve simplicity and balance.
Pasquino’sartistic approach combines traditional techniques with contemporary experimentation. Her process allows the material to guide her, resulting inworks that reflect a dialogue between structure and fluidity. Beyond her studio practice, Laura creates commissioned pieces for architectural spaces and interior design projects, as well as for selected brands.
Laura’s ceramics invite viewers to engage with the subtle details of the material, offering a contemplative experience that reflects the delicate balance between fragility and strength. Her works are featured in exhibitions and installations, showcasing her unique vision and dedication to celebrating the raw beauty of the natural world.
