Extremes and calmness
- • Tanya feels her work is a lifelong investigation
- • She is inspired by time spent on boats and yachts
- • Her signature vessels impress with their colours
As a very young women Tanya Gomez lived in the most beautiful countries and travelled the world. Working on boats, she was able to change continents easily. “Whenever I travelled, I always made sure I had a lovely personal space, even in the smallest bunk. I was a very hands-on person in this regard." Aged 24, she decided to gain a skill, and instinctively she knew it needed to involve designing in 3D. Her studies began with a BTEC in Art and Design and an evening course with a ceramicist, followed by a Bachelor's degree in 3D Design at the University of Brighton, and a Master's degree in ceramics and glass at the Royal College of Art. Tanya is known for her large cylindrical porcelain vessels, which she throws, cuts, and mounts in a very dynamic manner and then glazes with brightly colored glazes. Despite the simplicity of her signature vessels as individuals, when seen together, they form complex patterns of colour and shape.
