Artwork location: Spain

This captivating artwork features a sculptural piece that merges functionality with abstract form. Crafted in earthy terracotta tones, the structure stands boldly with a central bottle-like form that seamlessly integrates into an intricate lattice framework. The geometric patterns evoke a sense of architectural elegance, creating visual interplay between negative and positive spaces. The symmetry and intersecting lines suggest influences of modernist design, while the handcrafted texture adds an organic authenticity. This piece uniquely balances utilitarian vessel shapes with sculptural abstraction, inviting viewers to explore its dual identity as both art object and functional form. The contrast between open spaces and solid forms creates a dynamic tension, drawing the observer into an exploration of its bold contours and subtle details.

One of a kind, handmade earthy sculptures inspired by traditional Spanish ceramics and classical utilitarian forms. Raw, unglazed, solid. Shapes are simple and bold, echoing campanario water jugs and ornamental filigree. The artist blends two-dimensional graphic influence with sculptural symmetry and balance. These unique sculptures explore timeless contrasts: tradition and modernity, form and function, art and craft.

Aniana's sculptures frequently reference utilitarian forms, spiritual symbols, or imagined rituals. She is interested in the tension between surface and volume, simplicity and complexity, art and craft. For her, ceramics is not only a medium but a way of thinking and being—an exploration of obsolete technologies, slow processes, and the urgent need for low-tech, mindful creative spaces.

Presentation

Aniana Heras is a Spanish ceramic sculptor based in Berlin. Born in the countryside of Sigüenza (Guadalajara, Spain) and trained in arts and design in Madrid and Barcelona, she spent over 15 years working as a digital designer before turning to clay in 2022. What began as an experiment quickly became a vital, physical and meditative practice—an anchor to presence and a way to reconnect with the material world.

Largely self-taught, Heras has developed a body of work that is both earthy and conceptually rich. Her handmade, one of a kind sculptures often arise from improvisation, guided by the act of making itself. Through her practice, she explores ideas of timelessness, balance, and contrast—tradition versus innovation, function versus form. Her pieces challenge both material and meaning, drawing inspiration from traditional Spanish pottery, contemporary sculpture, architecture, and design.
