Living between Spain and France, I learnt hand-building techniques and wheel-throwing in Barcelona from a Japanese ceramist. I recently decided to set up my own ceramic studio in Chissey-En-Morvan (Burgundy, France), where I live half the year.
My work has been exhibited at Milan's Design Fashion Week and in Tokyo at Pop-Ups at La Forêt, Harajuku. My latest collection of clay and porcelain vases was introduced in Paris, at Galerie 3m2, in the Jardins du Palais Royal. “Transverse” is made up of amphoras created using the coiling technique. Classic shapes brought up to date by the application of brightly colored glazes and the addition of handles made from recycled t-shirt yarn or "trapillo", by my mother, Olga.
“Another rhythm comes to double the first and combines with it, and I don't know what transverse relationships are established between these laws", Valéry, Variété V, 1944.
All my ceramic pieces are unique. Feel free to contact me for collaborations, commissions or if you wish to acquire one of my pieces.
