Onofrio Acone

Campania, Italy | Ceramist

Born in Salerno on May 26, 1977, Onofrio Acone embarked on an entrepreneurial journey in design and furniture in 1997. His early years in his parents' ceramic workshop ignited a profound passion for creativity. Despite its transformation into an industrial enterprise, Onofrio remained committed to crafting sculptures, vases, and paintings by hand, employing rudimentary techniques that resonate with raw emotion. In 2022, his long-held dream materialized with the opening of a gallery, where each piece reflects a unique idea realized through his skilled hands, often using simple tools and natural elements: pieces of wood to forge the various types of clay used, cloth with which to imprint textures, pieces of metal to cut with imperfect precision the sheets of matter before finally shaping them with the hands.Discover more
