Final bachelor project for the sculpture department at the faculty of fine arts, University of Barcelona:
Ceramic sculptures series.
Abstract:
The following project explores the way violence has been shown in our cinematographic culture in order to apply those aesthetics into a series of ceramic sculptures. Technically, we want to define a personal methodology which will be used to generate a collection of sculptural pieces with common appearance. The aim of this collection is to study the way we can use objects to raise a feeling to a public.
This project was chosen to be exhibited in the collective exhibition "Sense Títol" 2023. A students collective show where the best projects from each of the disciplines are exhibited for a week. My ceramic sculptures were chosen to represent the sculpture department together with the installations from my colleagues Alicia Campo (Metal sculptures) and Clara Garriga (white ceramic sculptures).
In the following images you can see the display of the artworks in the exhibition space.

This project talks about how our constant relationship with virtual reality is affecting the way we relate to and inhabit our natural environment.
The works in this exhibition, portrays a new humanity that has lost the links that all species have with the ecosystem they live with. Placing ourselves as beings disconnected from this physical reality and alienated in a digital bubble. A new humanity that has lost the ability to even communicate without a technological intermediary and that depends on a constant virtual connection in order to understand and orient itself within a physical reality that feels more and more distant.
With these works I want to show how dangerous we can become as a species if we lose the boundaries between these two realities and do not respect the fragility and limits of our natural environment.
Green Dream is a Visual Narrative of 9 linoleum prints. The series is presented together in an artist book, these prints explain visually and without the need for text the relationship between a girl and a gorilla.
Conceptually this story talks about how humans have distanced themselves from nature, building for ourselves an artificial cage of bricks and concrete. The story proposes a reunion with nature to set us free from this physical cage we have created for ourselves.
