About

Evening time ceramic artist

Hi there! I’m Leyla Monteferrante [I go by my husband’s surname for my art career, just to distinguish it from my scientific career path :)]. I’m a health economist with background in industrial engineering, hence never had any official university training in art. However my passion for art has always remained with me, throughout all the years that I was developing my career as an engineer. I’ve tried many different ways to create art next to my everyday job. I started to try ceramics in 2019, and day after day I became more pationate about it. While I spend most of my time being a mom and a scentist, I cherish the momements I get- mostly in the evenings- to create ceramic pieces.

My roots and inspirations

I’m from Iran, living in the Netherlands since 2009. My ceramics are inspired by nature, animals, middle eastern patterns, Ducth and Italian traditional pottery and pretty much everything I find inspiring!
