Sculpture made by hand and ceramic extruder with white refractory clays and shiny transparent enamel with copper oxide

This piece is anything but perfect. It goes about the contingency of matter, about the way in which the clay structures itself under the influence of chance and, at the same time, of gravity and its physical properties. This piece' shape does not display beauty but rather gives an account on movement and stillness. It becomes a fluid sculpture that is a metaphor of our ever-changing bodies; that process that we call life.

DETAILS AND DIMENSIONS
SHIPPING AND RETURNS

This high-fired clay sculpture captures the fleeting moment of material in motion. The piece is formed from extruded clay coils that, as they emerge from the extruder, fall freely, adopting an organic shape dictated by gravity and the material’s natural flow. The work records the soft, slow fall of ...

I’m a Latin American artist, born to an Argentine mother and Bolivian father, and raised between both countries. I studied Social Communication and later Film at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina—a place where I encountered the word art both emotionally and academically. My artistic practice began with photography, a medium I explored for over twenty years to investigate symbolic projections of identity through portraiture. In Bolivia, I developed much of my photographic work and received several awards that solidified my identity as an artist. I participated in more than thirty exhibitions, collaborations, and residencies with institutions, galleries, and art centers. Seeking new expressive forms, I moved to Barcelona, Spain, where I pursued further education with a Master’s in Contemporary Artistic Creation. That path eventually led me to study ceramics at the Escola Industrial de Barcelona. Four years of direct engagement with clay gave rise to a deeper sculptural practice—one centered on matter, the body, and the representation of expanded bodies. Ceramic sculpture has become a fundamental part of my artistic language. I work with a material charged with symbolism, where spoken language falls short. I currently live in Rimini, Italy, where I maintain a ceramic workshop and photography studio. I continue to experiment and research the sculptural and discursive potential of clay. I also spend extended periods in Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina—places that remain emotionally and professionally vital to me. You can find more details about my awards, exhibitions, residencies, and publications on my website. Thank you for your interest in my work. Artists always need the gaze of the other to become artists. -- Soy de origen latinoamericano, hijo de madre argentina y padre boliviano, y crecí entre estos dos países. Estudié Comunicación Social y luego Cine en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, un lugar donde entré en contacto emocional y académico con la palabra arte. Mi práctica artística comenzó con la fotografía, medio que utilicé durante más de veinte años para explorar las proyecciones simbólicas de la identidad a través del retrato. Fue en Bolivia donde desarrollé gran parte de mi obra fotográfica y donde obtuve reconocimientos que consolidaron mi identidad como artista. Allí realicé más de treinta exposiciones, colaboraciones y residencias con instituciones, galerías y centros de arte.
