Yuriko Damiani

Was born in Rome in 1972 from a Japanese mother, painter and teacher of decoration on porcelain, and an Italian father, profound connoisseur of the culture of the Rising Sun. He attended the faculty of architecture, however, always demonstrating a propensity for art and freehand drawing which he abandoned for many years to devote himself to furniture and found the DCube chain of design shops. He later resumed his initial passion by deciding to devote himself full time to porcelain decoration. The extraordinary work experience in Japan in the studio of the architect Yoshinobu Ashihara was fundamental to his career. 

During this experience he understands the importance of the balance between "full" and "empty" typical of Japanese art. The first appearance in the world of porcelain took place in 2014 in Milan during the prestigious international conference "XIII Convention Azzurra", where he received an honorable mention for the work presented. Later he perfected his technique more and more by merging the Italian culture with the Japanese one, experimenting with multiple combinations of colors and materials to arrive at the “Antique Gold Relief on Brilliant Gold" technique. The juxtaposition of eastern and western themes make his works undoubtedly identifiable.
