Presentation
"Of Chilean origin, but living in Liège, Monica Cantillana presents us with extraordinary ceramic sculptures of truth. Figures of men, women and children, so just and familiar that you would think them alive and speaking with you.
With a resolutely classic touch, but seized in a surprising decomposed gesture, so that the attitudes are more readable, more moving, more impressive by their human fervor. The work in the hoven, Raku technique with the smoke, enamel also gives them a patina of exceptional richness that gives the whole an archaic value and thus returns us to the highest tradition of craftsmen of the earth and the fire. "
