“My ceramic creations have many characteristics in common with the maternal breast: both express life, strength and rebirth.

Ceramic is a strong and stable material, capable of resisting the stresses of time, just like a mother's breast, but at the same time fragile.

Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese art which consists of restoring fractured ceramic objects with a gold paste: this noble gesture - often defined as the art of healing - not only gives ceramics back its value, but actually makes it unique and precious.

This technique represents a profound metaphor for life: the wounds and scars we carry are part of us and are symbols of struggle, tenacity and victory. Kintsugi teaches us to go beyond appearances and appreciate the priceless value of imperfection.”

Born in '76 in Milan, Johnny Pixel, born Johnny Papagni, began his artistic research in the mid-'90s.

After a first foray into painting, he experiments with the potential of the material by choosing waxes and metal alloys. These first experiences are sublimated in the ink drawing, where an apparent chaos hides, instead, traces and clues of his experience and his artistic future.

In 2010, lights and shadows become the raw material of his research: thus the "Photographic Transpositions" were born.

The forays into everyday life instead give life to the series “Instants from The World”, where the artist captures images belonging to the world around him, and which in some way have deeply contaminated him, and then represents them reworked through his personal point of view .

He currently experiments with new expressive forms through the modeling of ceramics into objects inspired by nature and designed for multiple uses.
