Aitor Martínez López de Arbina

In the work of Aitor Martínez López de Arbina, matter is a living interlocutor. Each piece is born from a dialogue with wood — with its time and its tensions, with the memory the tree holds before becoming form. Turner and sculptor, his practice inhabits that hybrid territory where craftsmanship opens toward contemporary sculpture and the manual gesture acquires a conceptual dimension. Born in Legazpi (Gipuzkoa) and deeply connected to both the Basque Country and Galicia, Aitor builds his practice from the territory, rooted in landscape and its narratives. His work stems from a simple conviction: that matter contains stories,

Koral Antolín

Born in Madrid (1989), Koral Antolín develops her artistic practice in a territory where drawing becomes matter and gesture acquires physical presence. Trained in Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid, with a specialisation in drawing and printmaking, her early career moves through different disciplines—art direction, artisanal design and photography—before finding in textile art a language capable of bringing them together with coherence and depth. Thread, wool and cotton appear in her work as elements of visual and spatial construction. Koral understands textiles as an expanded medium: an active surface that enters into dialogue with architecture, with the scale

Rike Kaufmann

There are life trajectories shaped by the noise of the world, and others that, after moving through it, choose to return to silence. Rike Kaufmann’s belongs to both. Born and raised in Germany, her professional life unfolded for years in some of the most influential cultural capitals of our time — New York, Paris — places where images are produced at great speed and creativity is measured in immediate impact. As a designer, closely linked to the worlds of fashion, perfumery and high-end beauty, Kaufmann worked with some of the figures who have defined contemporary aesthetics over recent decades. Photographers

Silvia Valentín

In her Hortaleza studio, Madrid-based ceramic artist Silvia Valentín shapes a universe of her own: a territory where imperfect forms find their dignity, where ceramics becomes a way of being in the world. Silvia’s pieces do not seek symmetry or geometric perfection; they reclaim the beauty of the living, the irregular, what seems freshly rescued from a distant time. Trained in Fine Arts with a specialization in painting restoration, Silvia spent several years restoring mural paintings in archaeological sites until she discovered ceramics. She studied at the Francisco Alcántara School of Ceramics and has turned her work with clay into

Yoyo Balagué

In the universe of Yoyo Balagué, an artist born in Barcelona, each piece germinates in the dialogue between matter and spirit, between accident and intention. Her studio in the Empordà, surrounded by sea light and the murmur of the wind, is a space of listening. There, the artist calls upon the elements —fire, air, water, earth— to take part in the creative process, allowing chance and time to leave their imprint on clay or canvas. Balagué has turned pit-firing—an ancestral firing technique in which fire and organic materials merge in unpredictable gestures—into her most personal language. Her work, close to

Alicia Gimeno

Alicia Gimeno nació en el seno de una familia de ingenieros, donde el entendimiento técnico del espacio era ley. Sin embargo, desde su infancia, cultivó una fascinación por la abstracción, resignificando la rigidez como un lienzo para el juego creativo y la libertad emocional. Formada en diseño gráfico durante su estancia en México, Gimeno absorbió la expresividad de la caligrafía oriental y el lenguaje profundo del trazo manual, entendiendo el acto de escribir más allá del lenguaje, como una forma de expresión pura y espiritual. Desde 2021, su obra ha transitado hacia una poesía visual que convoca lo vegetal y lo

Júlia Martins Miranda

Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Júlia trained as a photographer and musician before surrendering to painting with passion. The visual rhythm of her canvases reveals this fusion: there is cadence, harmony, and deep silence in them. Her training took her through cities such as São Paulo, Milan, and New York, where she absorbed new perspectives and languages, yet never lost touch with the pulse of her homeland, which persists in her work like a quiet melody. In her art, the Brazilian spirit is not a theme, but an echo, an atmosphere, a memory filtered through distance. Júlia’s home is a

Bestriz Gil. Pellizco Cerámica

Beatriz Gil represents the contemporary voice of a ceramic tradition passed down through generations of potters. A Fine Arts graduate from the University of Barcelona, her work pursues the purity of the organic, shaping forms and textures that evoke landscapes and memories rooted in the land. Her work is a sensitive reinterpretation of the passage of time, a visual expression of her deep connection with nature. Pellizco’s work with clay stems from an intuitive exploration. Every shape and texture becomes the reflection of a constant dialogue between the hands and the material, making each creation unique. In a world dominated

Olivia Cognet

In the heart of Vallauris, where clay has long been a muse for generations, a contemporary artist listens to the traces of the past. Olivia Cognet, sculptor of light and form, returned to this place after several years in Los Angeles, finding here a home, a studio, and a legacy. It was within the very walls that once welcomed Roger Capron —the great master who elevated ceramics to the realm of art— that Olivia chose to establish her atelier. Not as an act of nostalgia, but as a promise of continuity. In this legendary space, which she restored with reverence

Tania Whalen

Nacida en Inglaterra (1966), Tania creció entre bosques húmedos, formas orgánicas y una sensibilidad por lo sutil. Se marchó de Londres, su ciudad natal, a los 18 años para mudarse a Tokio, pero hace unos años volvió a cambiar de destino y se instaló en Brooklyn, un entorno vibrante que contrasta y a la vez amplifica la serena introspección de su obra. Estudió Bellas Artes en la universidad, donde se enfrentó por primera vez a la cerámica, pero no fue hasta hace siete años cuando empezó a experimentar primero con porcelana y después con arcilla, para crear esculturas orgánicas, extrañamente
