IVONNE OLIVAS

Height 10"

Circumference 25"

Stylized lines painted on a very elegant piece of ceramic

About the artist:

At the age of 13, she learned to do pottery directly from the master Juan Quezada.  Ivonne paints white circular designs leaving intriguing blank spaces on very elegant black, brown, or red vessels. The same drawing is copied three times on the surface and, on a second look from the top of the piece a spiral shape is found around a cut lip shape.

Her pieces are made by her husband Florencio Sánchez, also a very talented artist. He forms very thin-walled pots with different mouths. The shapes of them added to the designs painted by Ivone make extraordinary pieces.
