Matteo Salsano

Born in Cava de Tirreni near Salerno in 1959, Matteo Salsano is the epitome of the modern homo-faber, a craftsman combining love for century-old traditions with passion for experimentation. A self-taught artist, he started painting early on, worked as a ceramist, and moved to Milan where he became interested in holistic disciplines, specifically biotransenergetics. In 2002, he returned to his hometown and opened his own ceramic laboratory, L’Alchimia del Lustro Persiano, where he crafts unique artworks inspired by nature using a traditional Persian luster technique.
