About This Piece

Ceramic vase made of stoneware using coil hand building technique. This piece shows a relief design of a human face with serene features, seamlessly integrated with real printed leaves of various sizes that surround the whole piece like a carousel in a dynamic and organic arrangement. As a unique detail, another single leaf is nestled inside at the base, adding depth and an unexpected touch to the interior of the piece. The abundance of leaves on the surface serves as a key element that deepens the piece’s exploration of nature, emphasizing its importance and complexity.

About Its Color

This piece shows a bright green tone enhanced by a glossy, reflective glaze that highlights its smooth contours and gives it a vibrant, polished look. Surrounding the face, the leaves are finished with iron oxide in earthy tones of brown and rust with a matte texture that contrasts sharply with the shine of the face. Fine speckles in the paint add subtle texture and extra detail on the face. This combination of colors and finishes creates a dynamic balance between glossy and natural earthy elements, making each feature stand out within the composition.
