 Monica Vaccari: Italy
Ceramic Artist - Basel

Monica Vaccari was born in Modena, Italy. She earned an undergraduate degree in graphic design and photography at the “Art School of Modena”. Her artistic training took place in the restoration workshop of “Carlo Barbieri” in Modena. She graduated in architecture from the “Politecnico” of Milan. During this time, she never abandoned her ongoing search for personal expression in the language of photography and ceramics. 

In 1992 Monica worked for the “Central Institute for Restoration” in a pilot project called “Risk Charting”, mapping all ancient monuments in the Ravenna and Ferrara provinces, Italy. In the same year, Monica also won a scholarship for the Master in “Architectural Executive Planning” at the “Oikos University” in Bologna, Italy.

From 2005 and 2008, she worked at the “Vrije Academie” in The Hague (NL), where she took classes in contemporary ceramics under the guidance of the Dutch ceramist “Moki Last”. Since then, she has showcased her sculptures in Amsterdam, the Hague and Brussels.

In 2014 Monica moved to Basel and received several publications, including her photographic projects being published in the international magazine Invict/us.  Monica has participated in numerous solo and group art exhibitions around Europe, with many of her pieces having sold in Basel.

Monica has been working on four series of works that channel:- 
1. “The Warriors”, fighting with dignified strength in meditative stillness. 
2. “Faces”, peering out of intimate spaces, conveying a deep sense of tranquillity. 
3. “The dreamers” with an inward gaze, reconnecting to the rich treasure of creativity within their inner world. A subtle smile rests on the dreamer’s face. And finally 
4. “Mother Earth”, breathing calmly, whilst our humanity trembles.
