Inspiration
Luisa is inspired by sculpture and bases her work on current social themes. Her work is influenced by pop and surrealism.
The last 4 years influenced her very much compared to the previous 30 years.
In 2019 Luisa was invited for a residency in Jingdezhen China where she worked in a porcelain factory called Franz Collection.
There she worked with plaster casting moulds, various types of clay and glazes.
We met Louisa in Paris in 2021. She immediately drew our attention with her flamboyant and colourful sculptures that radiate happiness!
She experimented with different firing processes, temperatures and forms and was inspired by new themes and methods.
Technique
On her return from China, she started working on a series entitled Colorful Confinement: large sculptural 'vases' in porcelain clay, with colourings in the mass that deform strongly during firing at a high temperature (1260°).
