This weekend I took my latest ceramics experimentation to the wild (my home city). It’s beautiful and super close to incredible locations. The first nature shot was in one of the holiest places of pagan Iberia: “Cabeço das Fráguas”. This site contains an incredibly rare inscription describing a ritual to the old gods in an ancient indo-european language. The rest of the shots where taken in the vicinity of continental Portugal’s highest mountain, Serra da Estrela.

“Offerings”
Super cool how the head of a ram with no horns attached almost resembles the shape of ovaries and utterous.
Graphite and black wax pencil on paper.

A sneak peek at the development of this Neolithic Goddess interpretation. After this it’s the Tetris stage… also known as hollowing out… I’ll have to cut the piece into a puzzle, let it dry out, and then, to the kiln. Exciting moments!

A sketch for a river god piece.
I went to the douro valley for a proper display of the sculpture, a homage to Reve, one of the old gods, with the Douro river in the background.

“The owl worshipping woman”
Based in arqueological Neolithic artifacts from the Iberian peninsula. The female goddess assumed many shapes, most frequently she was represented with the eyes of an owl. He is my interpretation on these findings.

Looking for new concepts, poses and ideas in small sketches. This one is called"sus scrofa" and I might turn it into a big sculpture.
