Concha Gaivão

Using red clay and the traditional techniques of pottery from the Alentejo region, Concha Gaivão produces drawings, prints, incisions and scrapings, mainly depicting spontaneous elements from the Alentejo countryside.

The pieces are worked in the raw and the drawing is sgraffitied in the engobe, leaving the underlying red clay uncovered in a well-defined line of contour characteristic of the artisan’s expression.
