Carmen López

Bio

I currently live and work in my jewelry studio in Seville. I have been a teacher of ceramics and Fire Enamel at the Art Schools of Huelva and Seville. I have held the positions of Deputy Director, Coordinator of teachers, and Secretary among others. I have a Higher Degree in Ceramics, and I have studied specialization in ceramics, enamel, and jewelry inside and outside of Spain.

Statement

My relationship with art comes from my family environment, in my house I smelled of pencils, crayons, and watercolors. My older brothers were my references and making drawings and artistic objects is what I have done all my life. As a teacher at the School of Art, I cooperated with and coordinated the León Ortega Art Gallery, annually creating exhibitions with the students and trips to artistic destinations.
Large-volume creative ceramics occupied part of my creation. My current work is based on portable objects, jewels of a narrative and conceptual nature with which I make small collections. I work with various materials depending on the narrative I want to express, but I always include fire-enameled pieces and represented spoons, the “leitmotif” of my work.
