BIO
Nuria Torres Domínguez (Barcelona, 1976) Degree in Engineering, she studies sculpture at the Llotja school in Barcelona, where she finds great passion in this art, widening her training and knowledge with national and international sculptors. She has collaborated with artists such as Antoni Miralda and has been selected and awarded in different international ceramic and sculpture biennials. Her work is found in public collections such as: Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum (South Korea); Aveiro Museum (Portugal); Ariana Museum (Geneva, Switzerland); Museu de Arte Contemporaneo Vicente Aguilera Cerni (Castellón) Museum of Disseny (Barcelona) Marble, porcelain and stoneware constitute the language of my sculptural proposals. After years of dedication and passion I have been perfecting my craft, acquiring the knowledge to achieve a great variety of projects. Stone requires great precision. I work on single pieces and this material allows me to get into details such as glazes and transparencies, or manipulating marble as if it were a second skin. Porcelain is delicate and versatile. When working with it I can with decoration and third fire to get a wider range of finishes. While stoneware is ideal for making single sculptures on a large scale. My work is figurative., I'm interested in classicism but always adding something to classical realism. A small detail that reminds you that our here and now. I like to use recognizable everyday objects and elevate them to art, showing that traditional styles and techniques can be revised to capture a contemporary aesthetic. I recognize in me an unconditional love for sculpture and I constantly feel the need to look for new forms of representation. For me sculpture is a gift from life!
