Edi Magi was born in Castiglion Fiorentino, a beautiful town of Etruscan origin in the hills of central Tuscany, a place full of archaeological, artistic and cultural heritage. Certain references collected during her travels, often appear in her work. She delicately balances a blend of both traditional and contemporary, giving rise to innovative, fresh and energetic forms. Her working with clay was born from pure curiosity. She began to actively explore ceramics in the early 1990′s, working with established masters of the craft, learning a wide range of techniques, decoration and firing. She then went on her own way, taking on a new direction as she challenged the new medium. Her recent works have surfaces that are often treated in relief, smooth or scratched, delicately decorated with layers of colour, thus giving subtle movement to her work.

Her pieces often become a fusion of sculpture and painting, in which form and decoration, technique and creativity, mingle and alternate with elegant ease. Each composition she creates is unique, designed personally by herself and made entirely by hand. She also collaborates closely with both her clients and architects on private commissions. Edi regularly shows in individual or collective exhibitions both in Italy and abroad, and has a permanent gallery in Castiglion Fiorentino. Her studio is not only her personal workplace and gallery, but also a space which welcomes all artists and those passionate about art, to meet and exchange ideas, interests and experiences.
