Irises

Francesco De Maio’s extraordinary decoration, inspired by Van Gogh’s famous painting Irises, stands out for its ability to capture the poetic essence and vividness of the flowers painted by the Dutch artist. The fascinating detail of Van Gogh’s Irises is transformed into a unique ceramic surface thanks to the craftsmanship of Francesco De Maio’s handmade decoration for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Ceramic thus becomes a tangible link between Van Gogh’s original art and contemporary craftsmanship, giving rooms a touch of unmistakable floral splendour.
Each majolica represents an artistic homage, transforming the intricate details of irises into ceramic surfaces of iridescent colours. Each majolica captures the delicacy and beauty of the flowers, offering a unique sensory experience.
The craftsmanship of Francesco De Maio blends with the genius of Van Gogh, creating functional works of art that bring the beauty of iris flowers directly into everyday environments.
