Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This ceramic sculpture depicts a cat-like figure with a textured, geometric patterning across its body. The piece utilizes a warm, earthy palette of reddish-brown tones, creating a striking visual contrast against the plain white background. The intricate, repeating patterns and angular shapes suggest an avant-garde, abstract style, reflecting the artist's innovative approach to traditional ceramic techniques. This whimsical yet thought-provoking work likely aims to challenge conventional representations of the feline form, inviting the viewer to consider new perspectives on the natural world. ...

Celia Vásquez Yui channels ancestral knowledge and ecological consciousness into her intricate ceramic sculptures, rooted in the Shipibo-Conibo coil-building tradition passed down through generations. Her work embodies a profound spiritual connection to the natural world, where each piece acts as both an artwork and a vessel for Indigenous cosmology and healing. Drawing from sacred geometric patterns known as kené, Vásquez Yui’s sculptures evoke animal spirits—guardians of the Amazon rainforest—and convey a deep sense of reciprocity between humans, animals, and the environment. Her practice intertwines craft, ritual, and activism, reflecting her commitment to cultural preservation and environmental advocacy. Through tactile, living forms, she creates a sensory experience that invites reflection on the sanctity of nature and the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous communities. Vásquez Yui’s art offers a powerful meditation on healing, resilience, and the vital relationship between artistic expression and ecological stewardship. ...
