Introduction


Vasco Nasorri lives and works in the land where he was born. During a period of more than thirty years he has created a workshop that represents the image of his activity as an artist.

Everything that he creates reflects the culture and traditions of this land; and the techniques he uses are the same used by an ancient population that once lived here and that were past down to our days. Also clay, the principal material he uses, comes from this territory. Everything in his studio reflects Vasco’s creativity and his respect for culture and tradition. In turn, this creativity becomes itself a form of culture. Vasco Nasorri started as a ceramist but evolved using his knowledge and by experimenting different techniques.

 He has created important sacred artworks that are collocated in many Italian churches as well as abroad. These grand ceramic artworks, in bas/high relief, require and are realized using methods that his vast experience has accumulated throughout these years. These sculptures, realized principally on commission, show the artist’s inspiration and imagination in using materials such as terracotta, bronze and marble. During the years he has participated in numerous, both collective and personal, expositions and exhibitions. Vasco’s art studio, with its sketches, designs and sculptures in the initial phases of realization remains the most important exposition and shows his ceaseless creativity activity. Vasco’s life as an artist began over forty years ago, when, in Don Manfredo Coltellini’s school, he realized his first experiments, designs and ceramics, fulfilling his childhood desire of creativity.

He built his art studio in the Tuscan countryside and in this place he creates artworks that are profitable, but above all, nourishes his desire of creativity.
It’s not easy, for an artist, to assert to the maximum levels, especially if he isn’t willing to sell himself to “easy profit” or sacrifice his artistic dignity. Vasco with his coherence style, that sprouted and evolved in Don Coltellini’s school, is still capable of creating giant artworks that preserve the initial interpretation when it was just a model. This is how his grand artworks are created, especially sacred art that adorn small and big churches all over the world.
