¡°I am once again making a series of vessels in the simplest of shapes: the cylinder,
a harmonious, precise and neutral form.
A shape I have been going to and from since 2000, always returning with new curiosity, surprised that it has so many faces, new elegance or new unseen disharmonies, depending of how I proportion the opening and the height of the work.
Often I make many of the same size, because the same size can change radically to the eye depending of what kind of colour and surface the glaze builds up.
I let the glazes invade the simplicity by a chaotic surface in all varieties and textures.
I see this group as a hymn to all vessels made before me.
I find great joy in the ceramic history which is a rich source of inspiration,
and a history to comment upon. It is a love story that grows along with my passion for clay and glaze, and the infinite possibilities I keep discovering in this amazing material.
Beauty is my aim in all my vessels, but I try to challenge my own preconceived ideas of what is good or bad.
Every work must contain both.¡±
