Mindful pottery

  • • Pablo is a self-taught ceramicist
  • • He creates both modern and primitive ceramics
  • • The culture of Malaga has a considerable influence on his work

Pablo Canivell started making ceramics in 2017 on the recommendation of a therapist, who suggested it to him as a form of stress relief. During a workshop in London, he realised the soothing pleasure he experienced modelling with clay and decided to devote himself to the craft. This craft has taught him to be patient and to switch off. He embraces its benefits for dealing with anxiety and negative emotions. After studying Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art and working in galleries, auction houses and museums in Italy, England and Spain, he launched his studio in Malaga. In this cultural hub and one of the trendiest destinations in Europe he patiently creates mindful ceramics, always seeking purity and simplicity. Cocteau, Matisse, Arp, Rie and Picasso, the 20th-century modern art masters he admires and ancient and archaeological pottery are his primary sources of inspiration.
