Graciela Colombi was born in Buenos Aires ,Argentina in 1955. Since she was a little girl was surrounded by musicians and painters in her family, where she discovered her love for arts.

A serious health problem, diabetes, restrains her physical capacity and early in her youth, she has to remain in bed for a long period. She takes advantage of the compelled rest and starts reading and studying the books of Jorge Fernandez Chiti, (ceramist, ex-professor of the university of Buenos Aires, anthropologist and member of the iternational Academy of ceramics, located in Geneva, Switzerland).

During almost five years she studies and makes practices, with the limitations imposed by her illness .Once recovered, she takes classes with Jorge Fernandez Chiti, her most admired professor, who had given her a strong reason for living when prostrated by illness, and her admiration increases deeply. She makes all the efforts to improve her artwork, studying high temperature bodies and different reduction glazes.

Her pieces have been exhibited in the best architecture bureaus, decoration and art galleries in Argentina. She displayed her pieces, together with the photographs of Juan Pose, devoted to photography and artistic design. The samples exhibited in her gallery, create a composition of highly artistic character, through the composition of both artists.

Graciela Colombi, sculptor and ceramist, was devoted to the science-art design since she was twenty. Her deep researching spirit and studies are based on challenging the present, obtaining results out of millenarian techniques: ox blood, celadon, silver reductions and crystalline glazes, stoneware and porcelains in simple shapes or upon sculptures, which make her pieces the greatest exhibition for those who love art.
