Profile

Ema Pradère is a ceramic artist whose work reflects her personality: gentle, powerful and exalted. After briefly working as a doctor, she devoted herself to her passions for painting and dance. Her travels around the world, particularly to India, Japan and Egypt, nourished her art and led her to explore pottery. Inspired by nature and mountains, she integrates these elements into her stoneware or porcelain creations, which combine power and fragility. Her ceramics, influenced by the art of Kintsugi, seek a balance between instability and harmony, like her creative dance.

Specializing in tableware, she brings a contemporary touch to ancestral know-how from around the world. Inspired by traditional techniques from different continents, she enriched her expertise after a four-year trip through Asia, Africa and Europe.

Passionate about matter and movement (Ema having a solid background in dance), she rediscovers the meaning of gesture through working with clay. With great freedom, she can repeat the same gesture over and over again, like a Zen gardener. She ultimately likes to leave room for chance, an element that she appreciates and with which she likes to play.

She collaborates with renowned chefs such as Hélène Darroze and Alexandre Mazzia.

Her creations are exhibited in various fairs, such as the PAD Paris and Geneva, the Hôtel de l'Industrie, or Thema Fair, in collaboration with the digital gallery "l'œil de KO". She also collaborates with brands such as Jars.
