Forms by Ivonne
An inquiry into pure form
An inquiry into pure form
Occupancy explores the relationship between space and presence. Rooted in architecture and driven by colour, each piece in this collection maps the rhythm of inhabited environments through bold geometric planes and raised clay forms. Flat painted fields of colour define the space itself, while three-dimensional elements emerge from the surface as the forces that bring it to life: people, movement, energy, time. Together they ask the same question an architect asks of every space: who is here, and what happens when they arrive.

Pulse was born from stillness and waiting. Painted during pregnancy, this collection turns inward, tracing the quiet rhythms of life before life begins. Where colour becomes skin and clay becomes form, each piece holds a moment from the cycle: the breath, the bond, the beginning. There are no sharp edges here, only the soft certainty of something becoming. These works do not announce themselves. They simply exist, the way life does, before it even has a name.

"The creative process is a dialogue between intention and intuition, where every gesture finds its place on the linen."
My practice is an inquiry into pure form, where primary color meets the tactile tension of three-dimensional geometry.
Ivonne Coccaglio is a contemporary artist and an architect whose practice exists at the intersection of structural logic and emotional resonance. With roots in Italy, where she studied fine arts in Brescia and architectural design in Milan, and further training in Dublin, Ivonne creates work that is a dialogue between the precision of the built environment and the fluidity of light and colour.
Approaching the canvas as a spatial frontier, Ivonne translates geometric archetypes into tactile experiences. Her signature style, a fusion of primary palettes, 2D planes, and hand-molded 3D elements, reflects a career-long fascination with how form occupies space. Each piece is an architectural problem solved through restraint, where minimalist geometry meets the raw honesty of materiality.
Based in Ireland, Ivonne extends her influence beyond the studio into the core of the arts community. She serves as the Chair of the RIAI Southern Region and as a Non-Executive Director of the Lavit Gallery in Cork, where her work has also been exhibited. She is a member of Visual Artists Ireland (VAI). Her practice is a testament to the pursuit of quiet elegance, structural clarity, and the profound stillness found within the primary form.
