"Piel de barro" necklace

"Clay enchants me with its nakedness, its touch, its primitive essence.

I allow myself to fall for the sensorial attraction and my hands form beads again and again.

I piece together a necklace, composing a landscape both evolving and cyclical where the end generates an origin. Fired earth, the palette of the depths of rivers and seas. The sensuality of the piece travels the body and its contact allows my skin to feel the beauty of clay."

"Piel de barro" was part of the show “The Beauty of Clay” 14 artists, 14 pieces,14 portraits, hosted at dterra gallery in Sant Cugat del Vallès as its contribution to the 47th Congress of the International Academy of Ceramics: Barcelona 2016.

"The Beauty of Clay" was a project that combined ceramics with contemporary jewellery. It invited 14 artists to create a piece of jewellery with ceramics as its defining element with the purpose of showing the plastic and creative possibilities of clay as a medium for art jewelry.
