Luigi is a Filipino ceramicist living in the United States. He was born and raised in the Philippines where he grew up between worlds. His artistic roots lie in music and the performing arts, a path that led him to the U.S. on a full music scholarship.
Luigi’s journey into ceramics began in 2022. Through thrown forms adorned with inlays and carved reliefs, he began to shape vessels that echo lineage, memory, and belonging. Each piece is an offering: a reflection of where he comes from, and a tribute to the lives and hands of his grandmothers.
Luigi’s work is rooted in the longing for Eden — not a place of perfection, but of peace, of innocence, of something almost forgotten. He draws from gifts both tangible and unseen, passed down through generations. His art immortalizes memories into objects with an airy and heavenly serenity; like a piece of the sky you can hold, a moment in the past you can never return to, or a small gift from someone loved now lost.
