About The Artwork

Family Tea is a tea set that is a family. Or a family that can be a tea set. This project arose from my obsession with the past, inheritance and family legacy, as well as the incessant search for new ways of telling its story. A common code we are all born with and that will continue appearing in all our defects and virtues: grandfather’s eyes, father’s birthmark, maternal great-grandmother’s white skin, grandfather’s hooked nose… the links are invisible but they are always there. 30 ceramic mugs with a tea kettle form a complete family tree: the Benvegnú family. The investigation is based on the imperfections and particularities we all have that we have inherited from someone. Each piece shares the same color palette, however, upon being passed down from previous generations, the tone and quantity of color that it shares with prior iterations changes, along with other defining details, although they still pertain to the same group. Similarly, no two mugs are the same, just as no two people are the same. The family seal and the little spoons with each person’s name and birthdate complete the concept. This tea set is for everyone who wants to perpetuate their roots with something tangible: my family, your family, and the neighbor’s family is in Family Tea.

Buenos Aires, Argentina 1981 With a degree in Advertising and Social Communication from the Universidad del Salvador in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I have worked as an Advertising Art Director at various advertising agencies continuously from 2004 to the end of 2009. During this time, I developed advertising campaigns for Leo Burnett Argentina and was honored with various local and international awards. My interest in the return to analogical systems as a form of expression led me to study film, writing, photography and art direction, becoming a multidisciplinary professional trying to transmit a message, concept or story through any type of format. In my spare time, I am dedicated to photography, writing, making short films and other projects as a freelancer. I won in 2010 a scholarship for the Master of European Design Labs in the IED Madrid and attended to workshops with prestigious european designers as Sigga Heimis, Doshi Levien, Julia Lohmann & Gero Grundman, Pedrita Studio, Luis Urculo and Gala Fernandez. In 2011 I was a staff member in the summer workshops in the domaine of Boisbuchet, run by the Vitra Design Museum and the centre George Pompidou. I had lived in Barcelona for a year and a half where I worked for VICE magazine and opened a design/art studio in November with partner Tristan Cochrane., we exhibited and sold our projects in Milan, London, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon. At the moment I´m living in London after a short term in Wales, where I was focused in screen printing process, showcasing my work in Bristol, Leeds, Cardiff and London. I was also a guest lecturer and tutor in Advertising degree in the Swansea Metropolitan, University of Wales Trinity St David.
