Sandra Davolio has lived in Copenhagen, Denmark since 1974 and was bon in Italy in 1951. She received her degree from the renowned Danish School of Design in 1985 and is the recipient of several prestigious awards and grants including recognition from the Danish Art Foundation and the Queen Ingrid’s Roman Foundation at the Danish Academy in Rome.
Davolio’s sophisticated porcelain works imply organic and natural references from the Art Nouveau style, the keen interest in the mechanics of futurism and the minimalist and linear approach typical to Scandinavian Design.
In the past eight years Davolio has positioned herself as an internationally renowned ceramist. J. Lohmann Gallery discovered this talented artist in Europe in 2007 and introduced Davolio’s work in the United States in 2008. The artist has developed a unique style over a course of several decades that is unparalleled. Her work conveys a deep connection to nature, and in particular to that of the sea. Davolio herself reveals that she “feels deep devotion and passion while working” and contemplates that she experiences “wonderful peaceful moments when creating something new from raw clay” with her hands.
Her work is represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York; the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York; and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, among many others.
