My studio is the place where my inner visions take shape — a haven where I gather objects that spark inspiration, where ideas find form, where new worlds quietly unfold.
After the 2023 flood swept into this space and unsettled my daily rhythm, I understood more deeply how essential this studio is to my life and to my art — and how vital it is to build a community with whom I can share it.
That is why I’ve chosen to open its doors and breathe new life into this space, reimagining it in a new way in order to welcome anyone who wishes to step inside, whether in person or from afar.
Perhaps ceramics won’t ‘save the world,’ but it saved mine, gifting me a dream wide awake — and it is this sense of wonder, this fragile and luminous magic of clay, that I want to offer to all of you.
If you, too, are drawn to art and ceramics, or if you’re simply curious to wander through my studio, help me bring this vision to life.
Lend your support, and together let’s let ceramics shine again.
We are in great need of beauty, and Andrea — an artist–artisan and a wise connoisseur of ceramic art — seeks it every day through his work.
Andrea’s studio is not merely a place, but a living environment where things happen, where his art is constantly transformed. It is a precious space, a ‘dancing chaos’ from which more than one star is born.
Inside his studio you can find everything: small figurines and tea sets that he collects obsessively, and even the mud left by the flood of May 2023 — a cataclysm that overturned his universe, yet from which he learned, drawing new nourishment for his inspiration.
From that mud, new ideas have emerged, inspiring new works: the playful Melma Monsters that first exorcise the specter of the flood, and then deeper meditations such as Third Landscape, which turns its gaze to the heavily human-shaped lowlands in search of the residual environments that still endure. Above all, the help he received convinced him of the value of community and of opening himself to the world.
Art is openness, exchange, interaction — a collective heritage and an aesthetic joy. This is why Andrea has chosen, with your help, to open the doors of his studio, both physically and virtually, creating a true welcoming space for all who love art.
Physically, by creating an exhibition space within the studio, allowing visitors to come into close contact with every stage of his creative process, while also offering a lively cultural environment — a real salon open to the community.
Virtually, by giving his website a new form and beginning an online archive of his works, thanks to the expert collaboration of the MIC in Faenza and the Rossana Bossaglia Study Center for Applied Arts of Verona University. In this way, Andrea will be able to enlarge the net with other institutions connected to ceramic art.
All this takes place within the framework of the European project ‘Studio Salvatori 4.0,’ which must be completed by December 31. For this reason, we need your support now, confident that the space we are creating will be a shared one — enriching the cultural offerings of the region and allowing more people to discover Andrea’s artistic work.
The funds raised will be used to complete the exhibition space within Studio Salvatori: four large custom-made wooden display units suited to hosting a wide selection of sculptures, dedicated lighting with adjustable spotlights, and finally, the renewal of the website along with the online archiving of part of his works.
The opening of the new space is planned for spring 2026. If you love art — and especially ceramics — and if our vision resonates with you, become an active supporter of our project. Support us, and add your signature to our campaign.
Uno studio d’artista non è solo un luogo è un ambiente vitale, è quel “caos danzante da cui si genera una stella “. Così è lo studio di Andrea Salvatori, artista artigiano, sapiente conoscitore dell’arte ceramica, L’arte è apertura, condivisione, scambio, interazione, è patrimonio collettivo e godimento estetico, per questo Andrea ha deciso di aprire le porte del suo studio sia fisicamente che virtualmente creando uno spazio espositivo e d’accoglienza per quanti amano l’arte: in maniera virtuale dando una nuova veste al sito internet e iniziando un archivio online delle proprie opere, avvalendosi dell’esperta collaborazione del Mic di Faenza e del centro per le arti applicate dell’università di Verona Rossana Bossaglia, in tal modo sarà possibile per Andrea fare rete e con le altre realtà legate all’arte ceramica, sul piano fisico, allestendo uno spazio espositivo aperto al pubblico, all’interno del suo studio, per permettere al pubblico di toccare con mano ed entrare in contatto con il suo processo creativo, ma anche per creare un ambiente culturale, un salotto aperto alla collettività. Tutto questo all’interno della cornice di un progetto PNRR il cui finanziamento è stato approvato, ma non copre per intero i costi che Andrea deve sostenere, il progetto deve obbligatoriamente concludersi entro il 31 dicembre, per questo motivo abbiamo deciso di chiedere il vostro contributo, certi che lo spazio che andrà a crearsi arricchirà la proposta culturale presente sul territorio e permetterà a più persone di conoscere il suo lavoro artistico.
