SELECTED ART WORK
MAGMA 2009. I have been searching in different shapes and forms for the poetry of this powerful shiny red glaze. With this piece, the glaze revealed its beauty when left to its own devices, melting freely on the surface, like magma descending the flanks of a volcano.

HIDDEN MESSAGE 2022. I am still searching for the deeper meaning of this being. The impulse was to draw primordial chromosome and mysterious symbols on its contours so to allow birthing itself.

SEMILLA DE VIDA 2021. My piece is an homage to all the women who dare to show their true femininity, their cheeky buttocks - a reminder of an ancient symbol of fertility. The inner persona, the anima can only be fully seen if you go beyond the sexy colourful surface and look inside -as with any being. There resides the "Seed of Life" -la Semilla de Vida- that animates it all.

PRIMORDIAL WHALE 2021. My Primordial Whale imagines the movement of their bodies in the waters, reflecting both the abyss far below and glimpses of the sky far above. The piece's nature is mutable. One whale becomes two whales like two lungs, or two parts of a single heart.

BABEL 2021. Babel tells a story of transformation. It spins out of the Earth, spiralling 'til the sky, some scars are visible; they are part of the path.

MOON I 2019. I seldom work on the wheel. When I do, magic happens in the moment of total presence. This piece asked me to then patiently polish oxides on the white clay for its inner beauty to reveal itself, and thus Moon came to be like to a precious being.

MEMORIES 2011. These vases emerged by themselves. I saw them in my mind and completed them quickly. And then came the time spent working on it with terra sigillata, patiently polishing the surface, hour after hour, shaping them into an object of memory.

FERTILITY 2011. The sensuality of the generous feminine forms attracts your attention. Its texture attracts your eye, its roughness contrasting with its sensuality -still the impulse is to touch and hold the piece in your hands to see what is made of.
FERTILITY 2011. 15cm×35cm×21cm.
