Cesc Abad

Throughout his years of experimentation, Cesc has developed a special interest in man and his relationship and effect on nature. After years of studying the great masters of painting, he found his technical tool in the post-impressionist brushstroke and history in symbolism.

Cesc Abad's ceramics, far from being an archaeological discovery, are an iconographic discovery with multiple figures and readings. They are accompanied by a very special colouring that gives his works an infinite number of visions and interpretations: the reading or interpretation in his ceramics can be from bottom to top, from right to left or in reverse. This allows the viewer to enjoy different stories or moments that enrich the condition of man. In a way, they are reminiscent of Sumerian bas-reliefs, whose stories were configured in strips or registers around the vessel and whose initial content was primarily religious and votive. They also featured seated or processional figures, as well as animals, which give the pieces a narrative register. Yellows, greens, blues and reds give these ceramics a colour and brightness halfway between kitsch, pop and natural, which is life itself.
