Overview

Ana's artistic vision is deeply rooted in her tactile engagement with materials as embodiments of a tangible fluidity, born from her intimate interaction with materials such as porcelain and the marine natural world.

Through her skilled understanding of these mediums, she seeks to convey a sense of fluidity and weightlessness in her sculptures. By employing hand-building techniques and experimenting with moulds, she transforms porcelain into a porous texture, seamlessly blending it with air, that allows to craft sculptures imbued with a sense of weightlessness, as if they are floating elements from the ground to the heavens, where light flows from within.

Porcelain is the sediment of the decomposition of granites and marbled by the action of nature over time. The process reverses this natural action, creating a vitrified material that ensures a long-lasting life for these unique pieces.

In her most recent work, she evokes an emotion of gratitude towards the craft of hand-making, using reclaimed wood as a complementary material to create unique lighting sculptures. Given the abundance of waste in the world, she considers preserving our environment a primary responsibility.
