A passion for clay
- • Alberto opened his workshop 12 years ago
- • He is inspired by humans and his natural environment
- • His pieces are surprising and full of life
Born in Valladolid, but living in Catalonia, in a mountainous area near the sea, Alberto Bustos is a self-taught artisan. His work with clay has a very personal imprint. Surprising figures, many of them geometric, that do not leave the viewer indifferent are part of his style which is closely linked to the environment. His pieces are unique and seem to have a life of their own. Although he has worked with other materials such as wood and bronze, since he discovered clay 25 years ago, Alberto continues to learn new techniques that for him are infinite. He opened his first workshop 12 years ago and his work has always been inspired by his constant search for nature and freedom.

A society that questions itself, grows
This installation, composed of four pieces, is handcrafted from stoneware. The installation explores the idea of having to question ourselves in order to grow as Alberto Bustos considers the human species to be constantly degraded by its false supremacy.
