Artist Statement

My ceramic practice explores the space between functional objects and sculptural forms, where the vessel becomes a place for experimentation with texture, movement, and surface.

I work primarily with stoneware, building my forms by hand and developing their surfaces through repetitive carving, layering, and glazing. My "Mar" texture, for example, is created by carving each tiny element by hand, one by one, transforming the surface of each piece through a slow and meditative process. I am drawn to the tension between the precision of this process and the unpredictability that emerges through glazing and firing, allowing chance to become part of the final work.

My forms and surfaces are influenced by organic structures and natural processes, water, coral, sand, erosion, and the continual transformation of landscapes. Rather than trying to reproduce these elements literally, I use them as a starting point to explore how repetition, fragmentation, and movement can create new forms.

Through my work, I am interested in how individual elements can come together to create something greater than themselves. In my series Fragmentos, this idea becomes particularly personal: fragments can represent moments of rupture or change, but when connected and appreciated as part of a whole, they can become something new and beautiful.

Working from my studio in Hermosillo, Sonora, I continue to explore the possibilities of clay as both a functional material and a means of personal expression, embracing the balance between intention and chance, control and transformation.
