When You Look t These Ceramic Vases, They Look Back

Jimmy D. Lanza is an Italian artist who has been engaged in various art forms over the years, including painting, illustration, and design. Around 2015, he added ceramics to the list, wanting to find a new way to express his creativity, and he liked it so much that it now makes up for the majority of his creative output.

Lanza has several series of ceramic art, but the ones we liked the most are ceramic vases with human faces on them. Handmade and done with great attention to detail, these vases are equally part impressive and disturbing.

You can’t help but to enjoy all the different facial expressions, including some quite silly ones, which adorn the vases. On the other hand, every time you look at them, they seem like they are looking back.

These unusual ceramic vessels are connected by the same theme, but each of them is unique in its own right. This is thanks to Lanza’s unique style, which is “linked to pop culture, symbolism, and surrealism, with a baroque scent, romantically connected to nature,” according to the artist himself.

Lanza offers his ceramic products on Etsy and showcases his newest pieces on Instagram. Take a look at more of them below.
