ARTIST STATEMENT

Deborah Alvarez is an artist with a passion for ceramics. She is inspired by the power and beauty of architectural landscapes, particularly with the contrast of modernity and antiquity.

​

Originally form London, with a background in both archaeology and real estate, she has a deep understanding of the impact urban function and design have on culture, and the environment and how this has changed over time. She is interested in exploring this through her work.

 

Highlighting the tension between function and form, Deborah uses accents of blue and gold, reflective surfaces and tactile finishes, to evoke the imagination of a unique and playful skyline.  

 

The medium of ceramics provides the perfect material to explore the subject, with its permanence, designed to last. The recycled clay used is indicative of the importance of the environment in the process. 

​

Every series tells its own story and allows the viewer to transport themselves to both new and familiar times. Through the shapes and forms, the work will challenge the eye and invite intrigue.
