Odyssey Of The Heart (odysseyheart)

morning everyone, the shop is live! honestly i wasn't sure this day would come. I've been making ceramic oysters for months (years actually lol), through all the uncertainty of being a full time artist, through the weeks where i didn't know if any of this was going anywhere. the lab became my anchor. every week, hands in clay, one oyster at a time. it gave me structure when everything else felt like it was shifting. i wrote the full story on substack: the poem that started it all, the mythology, what it actually meant to make these. it's the most honest thing i've written in a while. every piece is handmade and unique. would truly appreciate if you'll take the time to check it out 🦪 https://odysseys-atelier.myshopify.com/

✨ Time for a little reintroduction + some lore ✨ Hey everyone! I’m Pierandrea, but in art I go by Odyssey of the Heart. I’ve been working full-time as a multidisciplinary artist since 2020, and I realized it’s about time I share a bit more of my story with you. I started anonymously, making collages and posting them on Instagram. That quickly expanded into 3D design and AR environments. My background in architecture and urban design shaped a lot of how I see space, form, and storytelling in art. I’m from a small village in northern Italy, where I live with my parents (plus chickens and rabbits 🐓🐇). Fun fact: I have two older brothers, and all three of us are named Pier + something. So yes, it gets confusing sometimes. I’ve been around NFTs and web3 since March 2021, joining some early projects and building a wonderful community on Twitter (these days you’ll mostly find me on Farcaster). I’m also the founder of Love is Louder, a collective of LGBTQIA+ artists from around the world. Together, we’ve curated both digital and physical exhibitions, including at Ninfa Gallery, Milan (2023). Among my Passions & obsessions: - Ceramics: I’ve been taking pottery classes since 2022 and I’m planning to do some ceramics products drops soon. - K-dramas & horror: dark thrillers, crime series, and horror movies are my comfort zone. - Cooking & baking: nothing makes me happier than experimenting in the kitchen. - Reading: I devour books (mostly contemporary lit from 2000 onwards). - Poetry: I’ve written two collections that are still living in my folders… for now. -Fashion: I love thrifting, picking out clothes, and putting together slay outfits. - And yes, I’m a mermaid at heart 🧜🏻‍♂️ planning to get a tailored tail one day. My creative journey moves across different mediums: painting, collage, 3D, photography, AI, ceramics and poetry. Each medium feels like a chapter of a much bigger narrative I’m still writing. We are all living our modern odyssey, hope you’ll join this journey with me.
