Ceramic sculptor Daniel Oberti blended Japanese form with his Mediterranean heritage. His work embodies mythological symbolism, figurative characters, and old-world craftsmanship, which were inspired by his global travels and his unique perspective on ancient wisdom. Universal concepts about time, space, reverence, and beauty are evident in his work.
In loving memory of Gary French and his legendary smile. From the collection of Paula French.
