About
Eva-Maria Spampinato is an artist, & design historian. It is a relationship she cannot separate, and thus, is the Historical Artist. For two decades, she has pursued her passions through education & experience in art and design history, classical fine art practices, & art conservation in paintings & paper artworks. Eva-Maria brings her unique background to further investigate art & design through the modes of craft, alchemy, & the natural world.
At her best, Eva-Maria intentionally sources her materials (raw or cooked), with an ethical approach & embodies early modern thrift to balance traditional & contemporary practices, her values, that have the least impact on the environment.
“Thrifty is how to manage what you have…to thrive, respect & make good use of what the world provided to raise riches in morals & values…made most precious resources given by nature…whilst express gratitude for the gifts of the range of materials & its possessions.”
