“Le figure che modello prendono forma improvvisamente appena le mie mani entrano a contatto con la materia. Corpi pieni di vita emergono improvvisi dalla massa inerte, la morbida curva di un seno, un imponente fondo schiena, un’accattivante torsione del busto, ed ecco che dal niente mi trovo di fronte a Loro, come sensuali apparizioni, elogi alla bellezza e all’incanto della donna. Volti sognanti, curve dolci ma provocanti, vita esile, di un’apparente fragilità. Ma gambe robuste e sinuose, perché nonostante i sogni la donna è forte, indipendente, caparbia, piena di risorse di fronte alla sfida della vita.” (fonte:http://www.caterinazacchetti.com/)

“The figures take shape immediately I put my hands in contact with the soft and malleable clay. Bodies full of life emerge step by step from the inert clay, the soft curve of a breast, an ample bottom, a fetching twist of the upper body, and suddenly, I find them in front of me, like sensual apparitions, these exalting and enchanting beautiful women. Soft but sensual curves, characterizing the feminine figure. Slender waists, making the women appear fragile. But strong and sinuous legs because even if the women are dreamers they are strong women, independent, headstrong and full of strength to face life”. (source:http://www.caterinazacchetti.com/)
