Visual artist, in 2015 after a long search for formats and different contexts of visual development, between art direction, painting and embroidery, Lourdes Salgado started working with ceramic.
“Clay is a material that forces you to place yourself in a space and time that moves away between space and time of accelerated contemporary productivity and connects you with a slow, reflective and interior timelessness”
Under this understanding, Lourdes Salgado develop sculptural and utilitarian ceramic pieces, with abstract and figurative themes. She creates collections in these two directions, from an intuitive impetus, on a low production scale and from one-of-a-kind pieces.
Her referential place is linked to the observation of the intimate space in a home, a home with its own identity and that does not refer to a specific time. In this context, she is attracted by the possibilities of linking design, art and illustration.
