About This Piece

Robust ceramic vase made with stoneware using the coil building technique. This piece features three human faces in relief with different facial features and expressions, all partially covered by real printed leaves that integrate organically into the form. With its solid structure, this piece expresses a quiet dialogue between the human and the natural, where the presence of foliage adds depth and visual rhythm and movement to the composition. Unique in its making, the vase stands as a sculptural object that reflects on the balance between human identity and the natural world.

About its Color

This piece uses an opaque green glaze, accented by subtle brown tones that gently enhance its depth and warmth, creating a more lifelike and earthy appearance. Its texture features fine engraved lines forming an irregular pattern, giving it a natural, organic look reminiscent of a moss-covered bark. Iron oxide is used to highlight the leaves with warm, rust-like tones - It settles into the grooves, enhancing their texture and emphasizing the natural veins and edges of the real printed leaves, giving them a realistic, weathered appearance. This combination of colors work together to highlight the organic inspiration behind the design, giving the piece a grounded and authentic feel.
