Escultura de mujer sobre stand (Sculpture of woman on stand) The beauty of the feminine.

Through the different stages of art history the female body and its interpretations have been one of the most used motifs in the elaboration of paintings, sculptures and photographs. In these works we can observe the ideals of beauty and feminine aesthetics through symmetry, the order of forms, the use of curved lines and the precision of the author to represent the female body in each historical moment. The female portrait shows the beauty of nature associated with muses, nymphs, divinities that arouse veneration and fear at the same time. In the collective imagination, they represent the expression of feminine attributes and constitute an eternal source of inspiration. In Alfajar we always keep in mind the beauty of the feminine, varying the way of representing it in different ceramic supports and materials. After 30 years of experience, we can assure that the objective of Alfajar is to express the inner relationship of each person with the world, and therefore, with the nature around them. In this case through sculpture, transferring that relationship with the world to a round shape and in this case with the wide range of bottles and vases we have. The shapes are inspired by traditional vases from the different cultures that once populated the Mediterranean: Etruscan, Iberian, Mycenaean, Muslim, Greek and Roman, although treated with a coherence of style that implies geometrically stylized silhouettes and a simplification of volumes and structures. Cubism and expressionism also play a very important role in our work. Our intention is to achieve that synthesis between the simplification of classical Mediterranean forms and the avant-garde of the 20th century, in this case applied to sculpture.

Important information

All the pieces are different and unique, that is what it makes them special . After the purchase process, you will receive a piece with the same style as the one you are seeing, but the drawings and final finish of the enamels may vary a little. Everything is hand made.

Can I put water inside my ceramic?

There are some models that are designed expressly for that, as is the case of vases. These models are enameled inside, which waterproofs them and prepares them for use with water. In the event that they are not enameled inside, it could easily be refilled with water, but the base would ooz a little water, like the example of Spanish “botijo”. The ceramic body would not be damaged but a small plate would have to be placed underneath.
