A emotional connection with clay
- • Eva always wanted to be a sculptor
- • She compares her need to model clay to a drug addiction
- • She masters a very personal technique with enamel
Eva Hernández grew up in a family very fond of art. She learned her first techniques from her father, who was a master of enamelling over copper. She has always wanted to be a sculptor and clay gave her the opportunity to create a very personal universe filled with plates, bowls, jars, trays, tableware and funeral urns for animals. “I love to design pieces for everyday life,” says Eva. “I believe that ceramics should be considered a major art since it combines painting, sculpture and enamelling in the fire.” She also feels that everybody has memories of ceramics, while handcrafted clay and enamelling bring to life deep feelings of creation. She is particularly inspired by nature and ancient civilisations.
