One-of-a-kind sculptural ceramic vessel by artist Yoyo Balagué. Hand-built using the traditional coil technique, the piece is crafted from terracotta clay with 40% coarse grog (0–1.5 mm) and finished with two types of suspended engobes.
Inspired by the natural landscapes of Baix Empordà, Balagué explores the relationship between earth, material, and the elements. Her intuitive approach to ceramics embraces organic forms and the expressive possibilities of traditional hand-building techniques.
The vessel features a generous, rounded body that narrows towards a small base, creating a striking balance between volume and delicacy. Its dark, textured surface reveals subtle earthy undertones and irregular marks, giving the piece a raw, almost geological presence. The contrast between its sculptural silhouette and tactile finish highlights the artist's sensitivity to material and form.
