The works of Roberto Cambi continue to captivate the American audience. The Milanese artist and master ceramist has just created an impressive chandelier in Chicago, composed of over 50 ceramic elements: white spheres with portholes and flowers that develop vertically like a luminous sculpture. While the piece garners interest in the USA, Cambi is already working on a new project in Miami: a large metal bookshelf intended to host his botanical installations.
Cambi’s stylistic signature is recognizable: floral worlds, spheres, flowers, and surreal forms born from clay and a handcrafted process that the artist staunchly defends. His studio is a universe of plaster molds, essential for creating reproducible series, alongside unique pieces that highlight creative imperfection.
With a solid artistic education, between ceramic school and the Academy of Fine Arts, Cambi has also experimented with glass fusion, bringing a unique chromatic sensitivity to ceramics. His subjects — floral lamps, colorful bees, gigantic stems, three-dimensional paintings, and visionary sculptures — create scenarios suspended between fairy tale and surrealism, like the large Baltic blue fishbone that dominates his studio.
Visibility in the United States has grown thanks to Artemest, the portal founded by Ippolita Rostagno to promote Italian craftsmanship excellence abroad. Cambi was among the first to be selected, obtaining commissions otherwise difficult to reach for an independent artist. It is no surprise that his name appears in Tod’s biennial book dedicated to Italy’s best artisans.
The imaginative world of Roberto Cambi continues to expand, bringing Italian ceramic excellence to the heart of the American market.
