Nicola Costantino presented by Pommery
At the heart of a contemporary art fair—where the market, established names, and large numbers typically set the pace—a kiosk appears. A flower stand that is not what it seems. There, Nicola Costantino offers ceramic pieces created one by one, shaped with the patient dedication of craftsmanship and the intimacy of the handmade. She attends the kiosk herself: welcoming visitors, speaking with them, handing over each flower. A gesture as simple as it is powerful, one that subverts the traditional dynamics of the fair, placing the artist in the role of an everyday vendor—the florist, the baker, the person who provides the essentials—while shifting the artwork into the realm of what is accessible, immediate, and necessary.
These flower-works belong to PaRDeS, Costantino’s ceramic line: fire, earth, and water in balance; ancestral wisdom reactivated through a contemporary lens. Each piece offers a way of pausing time and living with beauty, awakening touch and emotion.
This project is presented by Maison Pommery, whose long-standing conviction has shaped its relationship with the arts: a commitment to the artistic world and a belief that creation is a driver of dialogue and openness. The support given to Latin American artists and projects reflects this desire to promote vibrant, innovative, and essential cultural expressions within the contemporary scene.
