INTRODUCTION

“My curious soul has led me to explore new forms, always using clays of various colors and textures to bring diversity to my collections.

Inspired by Brutalist architecture and the Japanese technique Kurinuki, I continue to create pieces for my BRUTALIST collection. Creating pieces in a wide range of sizes, from small cups to large bowls and lamps.

In my new collection, Imperfect Geometry, I play with (imperfect) straight lines, creating fruit bowls and vases. Each piece is unique and entirely handmade.”

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Maria Sejas Balda was born in Argentina in 1965. She is a graphic designer currently living and working in Ibiza, Spain.

A few years ago she discovered in the ceramic a new media to express her creativity, exploring different clays and techniques. She makes unique and limited edition stonewear pieces that are slowly hand-built or wheel thrown. Inspired by the organic form of nature and the wabi sabi philosophy.

Some of her pieces are raw, primitive, and austere, whilst others are inspired by architectural references, art, or design. All reflect the different facets of her personality.

“Perfection has no relevance for me and each piece has its individual character.”
