Hand-painted Gong Lina vase

STEFANIA BOEMI hand painted vase Gong Lina

This beautiful Gong Lina figurine vase by Stefanii Boemi is made of terracotta. It is decorated with Chinese characters, creating an unusual cultural connection. The lips are deep red, emphasizing femininity. The vase draws on Sicilian tradition and brings back the legend of the love between a Moor and a Muslim girl with a modern twist.

The vase is made entirely by hand and painted in a monochromatic shade, rich in natural pigments and resin binders, which ensure intense color depth.

This vase was created by the Sicilian artist Stefania Boemi . She looks for her materials among objects of the past that convey emotions linked to memory. They are Sicilian things, selected, untied and reassembled, stripped and repainted, disassembled and reassembled. She observes and studies what best characterizes the island's traditions and re-evaluates their uses. The main idea is to bring back to life previously familiar objects that have fallen into disuse. Each piece is assembled by hand and transformed into a unique work.
