about
asterisque is the space in which I dream of invented phrases, images of other worlds, unreal colours and textures yet to be discovered that I slowly transform into ceramic pieces that recreate my imaginary.
as the * asterisk -which indicates that a form, word or phrase is hypothetical, impossible, incorrect, or nonexistent-, I find authentic beauty in those characteristics of words, images, forms, people, or myself.
my handbuilt pieces look 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 me to different universes of earth, words, landscapes and images, and it has led me to settle in Cabo de Gata in Almería, an unusual place where I have found peace surrounded by fossil dunes lashed by mediterranean wind.
I make each piece completely by hand, without molds or wheel, usually applying different textures and then experimental glazes.
