My aim is to create lovable, usable, high-quality ceramic objects that provide a wide range of visual and tactile experiences. My creative process consists of constant, focused, yet in some aspects instinctive experimentation with materials, shapes and surfaces. My goal is to capture beauty. This process is an intuitive search for harmony, a quest for delight. Objects born in my hands are imprints of the inner paths of this explorer-researcher-observer mind.
Simple is beautiful. A sense of heritage with a contemporary modernity. The raw, simplistic elements, the muted tones I used in this series recall the natural, smoky memories, the handcrafted roundness of Neolithic ceramics. The plain surfaces and simple forms are capable of highlighting the inherent beauty of clay. Yet, the pieces are durable and functional.
I spent the October of 2018 as an artist-in-residence at the Valparaiso Foundation in Mojácar, Spain, learning new techniques and working with unknown materials, experimenting in a free-form way in a welcoming atmosphere.
