Naomi, can you share with us your story? How did you become a ceramic artist?
Where do all these monsters inhabited your creative universe come from?
You are also working with installations, incorporate your signature ceramic object into the space. Can you tell us what was the most interesting and challenging part while designing in 3 dimension?
It’s a conception that comes naturally when I design a work. I like to write stories through my work.Therefore, the scenography is very important and must respond to the place in which my pieces will be integrated.
My ceramics between them must be able to interact. But also when I work in exhibitions with other artists I like there to be a dialogue, whether in agreement or opposition of our approaches.The most complicated thing is to obtain a balance between the form, the message and its installation.You have to keep a minimalist spirit despite everything, in order to make effective choices.
I find that the ease of the image of the monster is that it can slip and crawl everywhere.This’s a very malleable subject. And on the contrary, ceramics require you to have a good sense of organization in order to think of everything, step by step, for the design to be effective (ex. : think about how the work will fit on the wall, if we add other items, etc). I love this principle of opposition, just like with my ceramic bags.
What kind of massage do you try to transmis through your works if any?
In the era of metaverse and global digitalization including art, what is you approach to all this new reality? Have you already got any digital experience or collaboration with digital artists?
In fact, I’m currently collaborating with a digital artist, Simon Deparis, on the design of the androgynous creature like “The Cowgirl” my current project. We’re working on a series of images creating an extension between reality and a parallel universe, putting in context my works such as my ceramic boots or my calfskin pattern bag. This’s a notion that I already explore a lot in my conception of art based on SF concepts. I admit I have “The Virtual Samurai” by Neal Stephenson in my library but I haven’t read it yet.
Can you name the most important sources of inspiration for you? Shall it be reading/ cinema/ artists?
At the latest Oscars we all saw how your monster ceramic hands exported to the fashion: the dress made in collaboration with Han Kjobenhavn worn by bombshell Julia Fox became a crash of red carpet. Was it your first take on fashion?
After such an astonishing success would you consider to produce more wearable art-objects?
Where are the projects you are working on years?

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
