Biografia
Maria Diletta Rondoni è un’artista italiana con sede in Umbria.
Dopo essersi diplomata all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Perugia nel 2012 – specializzandosi in pittura – la sua ricerca artistica ha esplorato le possibilità offerte da diversi materiali, come la ceramica, la lavorazione dei metalli e il vetro.
Il suo interesse si è concentrato sull’argilla, frequentando corsi nella città tradizionale della ceramica, Deruta, dove ha appreso tecniche antiche come il bucchero etrusco, la terra sigillata e la maiolica. Nel 2017 ha studiato le tecniche della porcellana presso il FACC-Faenza Art Ceramic Center, Faenza, Italia; nel 2016 ha aperto il suo studio di ceramica dove ha sviluppato la sua pratica ceramica.
Le sue opere appartengono a collezioni private, in Italia e all’estero.
