The chosen language, THE POTTERY.

The mind plays with the sensuality of the earth and according to the moment and the chosen technique it will be the result.

The thread, the person, is the excuse that allows me to give contents to the work.

During the years of dedication to the pottery a series of characters with daily attitudes have filled in, dishes, tiles, mural, in different ways and measures. PAMPHILOS describes their attitudes as always good that observe the situation without pretension of changing anything, simply decorating and gladdening the moment that they have to live.

The time has converted these flat characters in principle with sculptures. Volumes, textures, contents and technique bring  strength to these good beings that shape my imagination.

Sheets of mud, turned spheres, serigraphies, stoneware, refractory, forged, or found irons, china enamels, screws, wires only or repeated pieces, all these elements are part of my universe, also limited.

The constant dialog with the pottery reconciles me with my assumed limitation.
