Paola Masi (Rome) is a ceramic artist, poet, and author whose practice has been shaped by extensive travel and a sustained engagement with cultural and spiritual traditions. Rooted in ceramic sculpture, her work reflects influences from Eastern, Mediterranean, and European legacies, informed by Sufism as both a philosophical and experiential framework.
Working across sculpture, poetry, performance, and installation, Masi develops a poetic and intuitive language grounded in an embodied process—most notably the rhythmic intimacy of working with the kick-wheel. Her practice unfolds through a continuous dialogue between containment and void, surface and interior, matter and spirit, exploring across multiple media the mystery of human potential. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally, from New York to Japan and across Europe.
