A PROJECT MADE WITH SOUL
"Our passage through the world is so absurd and fleeting that the only thing that calms me is knowing that I have been authentic, that I have managed to be as similar to myself as I possibly can." - Frida Kahlo -
The project
My works find inspiration in simple things, in the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, where imperfection is an expression of beauty. In nature, and its slow, unhurried pace, which allows me to work with organic forms, respecting the timing of each process, letting my creativity flow, and experimenting with shapes, textures, and techniques.
My work is influenced by a minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing natural materials. Each piece is made entirely by hand, following the ancient potter's processes, making each one unique and unrepeatable. It can take many hours or even days to complete.
With my work, I aim to bring warmth, tranquility, and beauty through simplicity. I don't strive for perfection; my goal is to create a poetic and harmonious atmosphere in our surroundings.
I like to explore, let go, and let the unpredictable emerge, creating unique, unrepeatable works of natural and imperfect beauty, serene and sober, which gives soul to the object.
Yours truly,
Cristina
About me
This project is the result of a lifelong, constant search to achieve the balance that comes with a life connected to oneself and fulfilled, and which prompted me to leave behind years of work in communications and design. I wanted to live life the way I felt I wanted to.
I knew it would be through these passions, my life companions, who have accompanied me for as long as I can remember. I've explored various artistic disciplines: painting and illustration, design, cooking, photography... driven by my curiosity and creativity, to finally arrive at something that has allowed me to discover an endless world: ceramics.
To undertake with integrity and coherence, respecting my inner rhythm. This was my mantra when I started, and for me, connection with the earth is vital to developing this work. It's inconceivable to develop it without it. How can we connect with ourselves, with our emotions, if we live isolated from what gives us life? That's why my work is connected to nature: every detail, every object, and every experience is a part of it. Each piece is handcrafted, dedicating the necessary time to it, respecting its process, which makes it unique.
My works are simple, harmonious, and imperfect. Through them, I seek to convey the importance of the material, the textures, the colors of the earth... My goal is to contribute natural beauty and convey the peace and well-being that the creation of these pieces inspires in me. My greatest desire is that the recipient feels the same pleasurable sensations when enjoying them in their most intimate setting.
