Summary/Abstract: Knowing contemporary ceramics means not only understanding of an artistic process, but also of a way of life or of a certain mentality. It therefore represents an additional link in the reconstruction of the history of civilization and culture. Nowadays, the object created from ceramic material is invested with its own force of expression, even if it is associated, in general, with the need to use it in a practical manner. Last but not least, this aesthetic attribute is due to the specific material that is extremely offering. The technique expresses the personality of the material, thus the possibilities of composing the ceramic object are infinite. The human perception of giving meaning to an object is related to man’s commitment to enter the universe of knowledge.
