In addition to custom sculptures, I make sculptures inspired by the dogs I see in life, those that appear to me in my dreams, those that feed my imagination. They are the ones I invent to accompany me, and to accompany you too.
These sculptures don't have as many details as the personalized ones because they are part of a canine puzzle that I have in my mind and in my heart. I called them Pichus (a way in Argentina we use to call dogs that aren't from a specific breed), and they are born from pure canine love, in total freedom of form and color, which is why each one is unique.
They were the first sculptures to appear in this project, and I have a lot of fun making them because they appear without expectation. When I model a Pichu, I let the clay flow; it almost assembles itself: it decides its pose, the style of its ears, and how long its tail is. And of course, it also decides its colors.
When someone sees their pet identified in one of my sculptures, I think that perhaps we crossed paths in a dream or a memory. All the dogs I have ever observed coexist and intertwine in my mind, which is why it gives me so much joy and tenderness when people identify their pets in my sculptures, and it fuels my desire to continue creating them.
Over time, my curiosity about modeling dogs in ceramic grew, and while traveling, I became curious about other types of clay. Recently, I have been experimenting with stoneware sculptures, to which I added components to dye it, resulting in much larger and more resistant pieces.
