BOTTLE BY YOYO BALAGUÉ
One-of-a-kind sculptural ceramic bottle by artist Yoyo Balagué. Handcrafted from black manganese clay, the piece features an elongated silhouette that gradually narrows towards a slender neck, combining a simple, almost primitive form with a richly textured surface.
Rooted in the Mediterranean landscape of Baix Empordà, Balagué's practice explores the relationship between earth, nature, and the elements. Drawing on ancient pit-firing traditions, the artist incorporates natural materials into her experimental firing processes, allowing fire and smoke to shape the character of each piece.
Its deep charcoal tones, subtle earthy variations, and rugged, almost volcanic surface evoke the raw beauty of the natural world. The contrast between its restrained silhouette and expressive materiality gives the bottle a quiet, monolithic presence.
