Renata Mastroti
I am interested in objects that offer an opportunity to make a pause in our fast-paced lives as we enjoy the rituals of eating, drinking, and entertaining. I believe these rituals connect cultures, generations, and individuals, bringing us closer together.
The simple lines of my pieces provide a canvas for the surface decoration process. My designs encourage the viewers to explore the three-dimensional qualities of the pieces as their eyes move around the form, into the interior, and underneath. Every piece is an invitation to slow down and immerse yourself in the details, whether you’re enjoying a comforting cup of tea or the smooth feel of a hand-pulled handle.
I am inspired by nature’s patterns, its organic beauty, richness, and diversity. The lush vegetation of Brazil, my home country, serves as a continuous source of inspiration.
My goal as a maker and what draws me to the studio is the thought of bringing moments of comfort and joy to people’s everyday lives.
