About the artist

Natalini Viviana

Italy

Born in Lucca in March 1967, Natalini Viviana studied at the Art Institute in Lucca and graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. Early experience in painting and decoration led to work as an assistant set designer for Teatro Del Carretto, known for its papier-mâché "artificial actors." In 2016, she co-designed Le Stanze del Sogno, tracing the company’s history. Now a full-time sculptor, she reinterprets Art Nouveau with a contemporary touch, creating essential, detail-free female figures that embody pure beauty and evoke different emotional states.

About the artwork

The Phoenix


Sculptures. Painted terracotta with ceramic inserts, gold leaf.

Female sculpture created using the Kintsugi technique, where repaired objects gain value through gold that seals and enhances fractures or "wounds." The figure is inspired by the female protagonist of Madama Butterfly, the renowned opera by G. Puccini.
