Ceramic artist · Málaga, Spain
Natalia McDonald
Figurative ceramics shaped through colour, texture and quiet expressions.
Practice
Her work brings sculpture and painting together in singular ceramic objects, exploring the tension between identity, nature, form and surface.
Each piece is made as an individual work rather than a repeated edition, with a strong focus on the relationship between the object, its painted surface and the face that inhabits it.
