ARTIST STATEMENT
My modelling is mainly made of porcelain and stoneware.
The flat and square filaments, made by using the throwing technique, are later enamelled with pigment glaze on de raw clay.
Firing is normally done at high temperature.
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Valladolid (Spain)
Member of the International Academy of Ceramics
Courses, books, talks especially with other potters and endless tests Have Been
(And they still are) the basis of my self-taught training.
It has-been over 20 years since then.
I never dreamt that my passion and admiration for Ceramics would turn into my way of life, would give meaning to my life.
It may well be that my inborn attraction to Nature pushed me down to the ground so as to be fused me with earth, our true essence.
Through “natuRareza” I submerge myself into the vegetal Psyche in order to find out those tortured feelings, product of the deterioration of the environment that we humans habitually cause.
My only wish is that my message modelling goes in deeply into human sensitivity to revert the harm we are inflicting on ourselves.
