A refined technique based on monochromatic graphics shaped in relief.
Grey relief decoration creates light, elegant surfaces with a sober, contemporary character, while remaining deeply rooted in the ceramic tradition of the Tuscia.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”4729″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
Monochromatic relief decoration \u2013 though not in grey<\/strong> \u2013 can be found in medieval ceramics of central Italy, especially between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. Artisan workshops used light slips and dark oxides to create strong contrasts between background and design, at a time when decoration needed to be legible, symbolic, and immediate.<\/p>\n These motifs were often connected to everyday life, the animal world, and symbolic imagery: horses, birds, dancers, and vegetal elements.<\/p>\n Grey relief decoration is more restrained than Zaffera, yet no less complex: the relief requires carving, modeling, the application of slips, and carefully controlled firings. Cinzia offers an elegant, essential, and distinctly contemporary interpretation. The surfaces remain light, textured, almost \u201cstone-like.\u201d The result is a balance between rigor and poetry: objects that feel ancient and contemporary at the same time.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":476,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":361,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"fp_bio_links_json":"","footnotes":"","_fp_seo_title":"Grey Relief Decoration | Medieval Ceramics","_fp_seo_meta_description":"Grey relief decoration: technique and visual language of medieval ceramics reinterpreted by Cinzia Chiulli in Viterbo.","_fp_seo_focus_keyword":"","_fp_seo_meta_canonical":"","_fp_seo_meta_robots":"","_fp_seo_geo_claims":"","_fp_seo_geo_expose":"","_fp_seo_geo_no_ai_reuse":"","_yoast_wpseo_title":"Grey Relief Decoration | Medieval Ceramics","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Grey relief decoration: technique and visual language of medieval ceramics reinterpreted by Cinzia Chiulli in Viterbo.","_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_product_cat":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":""},"class_list":["post-5909","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinziachiullipercorsiartistici.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinziachiullipercorsiartistici.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinziachiullipercorsiartistici.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinziachiullipercorsiartistici.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/476"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinziachiullipercorsiartistici.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinziachiullipercorsiartistici.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5909\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinziachiullipercorsiartistici.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}A refined technique<\/h3>\n
It is a technique that enhances line, mark-making, and the purity of the gesture.<\/p>\nCinzia Chiulli\u2019s vision<\/h3>\n
The reliefs, instead, are dynamic and subtle, carrying a graphic rhythm that recalls medieval miniatures as well as modern illustration.<\/p>\n
