ASTERISQUE
CERAMIST
Mediterranean Coast | Spain
asterisque is the space in which Estefanía dreams of invented phrases, images of other worlds, unreal colours and textures yet to be discovered that she slowly transform into ceramic pieces that recreate her imaginary.
as the * asterisk, astérisque, asterisco -which indicates that a form, word or phrase is hypothetical, impossible, incorrect, or nonexistent-, she finds authentic beauty in those characteristics of words, images, forms, people, or herself.
Handbuilt pieces looking for ‘organic geometry’ in forms and mixtures of textures and colors, being the result of a personal journey that started on the Spanish shores of the Mediterranean sea, and takes Estefanía to different universes of earth, words, landscapes and images. She produces each piece completely by hand, without molds or wheel, usually applying different textures and then experimental glazes that she prepares herself.
