jojo Corväiá | ceramic objects

Contemporary artist Jojo Corväiá creates unique organic-looking ceramic artworks made of volcanic ash and other raw materials. Over the years, the artist has also experimented with bronze to create highly textured and oxidised vessels. Through both his clay and bronze work the artist intends to reflect his essence and uncover nature’s phenomena and geological formations.

‘In my work I intent to relate to a perception that transcends appearance, and to rather enter into a territory of feelings. My pieces become an emotional landscape. Attributes of my work include texture, roughness, cracks, irregularities, and a true appreciation for the natural process of expression.’ (Jojo Corväiá)
