Nicole Scarpa (Milan, 1993) is an Italian artist based in Mallorca. She began her journey in ceramics in 2021, drawn by the many workshops found across the island. She later continued to develop her technical skills through her studies in 2023 at the Corrie Bain International School of Ceramics in Barcelona.

Her artistic process is marked by the exploration of organic sculptural forms that emerge from an intimate and intuitive relationship with the material. Through ceramics, Nicole investigates how emotional memory can inhabit matter, giving shape to pieces that evoke internal experiences and processes of personal transformation.

The exploration of texture, both in its tactile and visual dimensions, and its interaction with the surrounding space plays a central role in her work. Through direct manipulation of clay, Nicole experiments with the expressiveness of surfaces, seeking ways to communicate through the skin of the object.

This piece is part of Metamorphosis, a body of work that explores transformation as a universal principle. Beyond physical change, it investigates the evolution of form as a means to express internal, emotional, and spiritual processes. Here, transformation is not seen as a final destination, but as an ongoing state, one in constant dialogue with matter, the body, and the self. The narrative reflects not only the mutation of the piece itself, but also the transformation inherent in the creative process and in those who engage with it.
