CER.O 2024

CER.O | XII Creative Ceramics Fair

We participated for the first year in CER.O Cerámica !!

With the aim of promoting the development of ceramics in its most creative and artistic manifestations, the Asturian Ceramists Association (ACA) in collaboration with the Oviedo City Council organizes CER.O Cerámica .

Creative ceramics provides artists with a broad space to explore new forms, expressions, and concepts in their works; experiment with new techniques, materials, shapes, textures, and colors; and express contemporary and innovative ideas beyond the merely conventional. In short, it is an artistic expression that not only enriches our culture but also motivates and invites us to reflect on the connection between tradition and the avant-garde.

During the Fair, the Municipal Culture Foundation awards the 3rd Roberto Parga Prize to the best ceramic work on display.

We present a Solo Project by Abi Castillo (Vigo, 1987).

Illustrator and ceramist from Vigo. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Vigo and trained in ceramics at the EMAO.

Ceramics has offered him a world of aesthetic and creative possibilities to give shape and volume to his creatures and characters. He feels the need to bring objects to life, always seeking eyes to look into, which is why faces are so important in his work.

His works maintain a romantic ideal of the natural world, fanciful, as if it were his own garden, and his characters hide clues of humor and drama, always playing with ambiguity.

This ambivalence between mysticism and drama, between the monstrous and the beautiful, is very present throughout his personal project.

She has exhibited her work at JustMad, Hybrid Art Fair, O! Gallery in Porto, Crackids Lisbon, and Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles, among others, and collaborated with Zara with her illustrations on the Women in Art project.

"This series is dedicated to my daughter and is about my vision of motherhood, from the perspective of falling deeply in love and the oxytocin intoxication that has helped me survive this past year.

Raio de Lúa is a collection of works conceived during the night, in which I talk about the things that are changing in me, the full phases and the empty phases, which, like the moon, return cyclically."
