Artist's Work

Blue Shrubland

    Work introduction

    The proposal in the work of ceramics has to do with a constant exploration between drawing and form. Using ceramic sculptural techniques.

      The image of my works refers to the processes on the metamorphosis of characters, animals and flora native to my region of residence. In these inventions I try to generate a playful visual experience and a reflection on the relationship that people establish with nature.

    The combination of techniques and the look on people in relation to nature are part of my daily work, in which I register and take it to ceramics.
