EUTOMENE
A NEW FEMALE ARCHETYPE CRAFTED IN FINE PORCELAIN
It is born from the union of EUTERPE, from the ancient Greek εὐ (well) and τέρπω (pleasure), muse of music, "she who rejoices", and MELPOMENE (μελπομένη / from μέηλπενν "sing") Musa of tragedy.
EUTOMENE embodies the two opposing feelings, the joy of life and tragedy and is a metaphor of the dualisms that pervade human existence, first of all the one between good and evil. A new muse who literally "divides" into two" and becomes an angel, an impartial messenger of these two antithetical impulses in perennial struggle with each other.

MUSE COLLECTION
A collection of porcelain ladies, freely inspired by the Greek MUSES, which reinvents the female archetype with a contemporary, stylistically lively and at times irreverent language.
