PRESENTATION


I am influenced by art in all of its diverse manifestations. From music to literature, architecture to archeology. My ceramic art is the result of observing time and space and contemplating my relationship with our world, the diverse and distinct cultures; the magnificent beauty that makes up our natural environment. Conversely, I am affected deeply by mankind s cruelty and devastation to others and our world.

I have four distinct lines of ceramic work.



Vessels
These polychromatic vessels are feminine in stature. They represent the women of the village of Simbila – Piura – Peru, where my father was born. Even the most humble women from this area proudly wear gold earrings.

Birds
These are influenced directly from my stay in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This country has been deeply affected by military atrocities. I often imagined a flock of birds coming down to the earth bringing justice to that nation which has been torn so cruelly by military dictatorship. The birds I create are amphibious, singing, spiraling, grounded and infinite.

Abstract Sculptures
These Sculptures have three intervening, symbolic elements: Depth, the sphere and the spiral. Using these three elements I hope to explore, express and communicate the Infinite.

The Human Figure
When working with the figure I focus on the concepts of positive and negative forces to create rhythms. I want the work to move like the wind or music and give spiritual nourishment.
