It has being a long time since I was here, but I’m back! I have being very busy, working and exhibiting, and also moving studios.
What I want to share today is a video that was made from one of my exhibitions, I am not very good talking about my work, as you will see it, but it is an important part of my journey
I am starting a new series of magical realism landscapes, this one is for the Workers Gallery. At the moment it is drying and waiting to be fired. I used red terracotta for this work, as I want it to be organic as possible. Usually I don’t use terracotta , but for this work I think it is a must and, apart from the mess, I am enjoying work with it, it is quite soft and wet, I like it.
I am working on this sculpture at the moment, I know I haven’t being here for some time, but I have being very busy, trying to organise my life!!! 😉

Looking at my little eggs, I though something was missing, so I decide to make black clay little nests to accommodate two eggs. This is the result. Very happy!
