Vessel of the Sea Cavallo by Dominico Pinto

$1,290.00

11 1/4” W x 13” H x 3 1/2”D

Domenico Pinto, "Il Professore" of Grottaglie, presents a captivating vision of maritime heritage in this ceramic sculpture of a cavallo. This piece exemplifies his signature ability to merge traditional Apulian craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expression. The cavallo, or horse, is stylized, blending history with modern aesthetics. Instead of a traditional saddle, a sculpted boat, sails atop the horse's back, set amid a frothy sea of ceramic waves. The horse’s flowing mane adds an element of dynamic energy. Gilded accents highlight the boat, bridle, and the horse’s mane.

From his workshop in the historic ceramics district, Pinto's mastery of technique and form comes to the fore. The detailed patterns create visual interest, and ceramic ruffles add an ornamental touch. This piece, signed by the artist, embodies a modern take on regional craftsmanship. Collectors and designers alike will appreciate Pinto’s unique ability to imbue traditional forms with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. His pieces are found in private collections, as well as the prestigious collections of Dolce & Gabbana and the Vatican.
