This vase is directly inspired by the Egyptian canopic jars; it is an ironic and contemporary reinterpretation of an ancestral object, the tutelary deity of domestic quiet. According to the mythology of some Indian lineages, it was the raven that created the earth: the bird would carry in its beak the pebbles it dropped into the sea to form the first islands. Made by hand and enameled with oxides and crystallines, the work becomes a precious and sculptural object.

Discovering the Artisan
Giusto Pilan
Veneto, Italy | Artist
Giusto Pilan is an award-winning artist born and based in Vicenza. His artistic research focuses on recovering lost memory, originating with the dawn of mankind and the first rock graffiti. By working on paper with a mixed technique of marble powder, wax, and pigments, he creates anthropomorphic forms by pressuring iron templates; the resulting paintings are balanced between sign and form, unique in their essence and aesthetic. His works have been exhibited in major galleries and public institutions in Italy and around the world, and are now available on Artemest.Discover more
