Fountains of purified water in painted ceramics.

Ceramic atelier Bota Fogo proposes a collective project that sees the integration of functional ceramics, design, and figurative painting.

Artists Clara Holt, Francesca Gastone, Lavinia Fagiuoli, and Sonia Diab, the four of which in close collaboration with ceramist Isabella Secchi, reinterpret the forms and colors of an object from the classic clay craft of the South American tradition: a domestic fountain that allows water to be purified through a durable and ecological filter also made of ceramic. Entirely made and painted by hand, each piece hangs life by drawing on different imagery without sacrificing its original function.
