PACHAMONI CERAMICS

Ceramicist, Grenoble (38)

"Earth, fire and silence"

Tell us your story, how did your vocation come to you?

I was born in Argentina, a country where nature and ancestral traditions still resonate intensely. Initially trained in music, I lived for a long time in a world of sounds, silences, and rhythms. It was alongside this musical life that I discovered ceramics—a practice that, over time, has become an essential path for my creative expression.

How would you describe your style, your artistic approach, in a few words?

Pachamoni offers unique ceramic pieces crafted from blended clays. Tableware, jewelry, vases, and other decorative objects are inspired by the colors of nature. I offer simple, poetic, and deeply rooted craftsmanship to bring beauty, calm, and presence to your everyday life.

What themes or subjects inspire you most in your work?

My artist name, Pachamoni, reflects my roots and my connection to matter. Pachamama, the Mother Earth venerated in the Andes, and Moni, my first name, brought together to express the living force of rooted creation.

How do you work?

Shaping clay has become a form of silent meditation for me, a return to the essential, to grounding. I work primarily with stoneware, both hand-building and wheel-throwing, with a particular focus on mixed clays. I use natural or integrally colored clays, and it is often the clay's own colors that suggest the form of the object, in an intuitive and organic process.

I create unique pieces: decorative objects, vases, tableware, and jewelry. All are handcrafted, slowly, with simplicity and respect. They possess a calm presence—simple forms born from the earth and silence.
