Original Terracotta Sculpture

VIRTUAL ARCHITECTURES

The compositions of sculptor and ceramicist Paulo Óscar for engraving reveal a desire to guide the drawing through regular structures inspired by geometry. Virtual architectures, inspired by his ceramic pieces, forms to create and undo according to the freedom and rhythms of creation. Intense color inhabits these purely mental spaces and transforms them into plastic icons of a very contemporary grammar of the relationships between the interior and the exterior, also evident in his stoneware piece, "Nascente". In the terracotta piece "Fronteiras", it is the spiral line that guides the relationship with space.

Paulo Oscar

Born in 1959, Paulo Óscar is a Portuguese artist who has been actively involved in the art scene since 1985. He studied Fire Arts at the António Arroio School from 1980 to 1982 and was a scholarship recipient of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in the years 1982/84 and 1992/93. Although his artistic practice encompasses various mediums, he has always maintained a strong connection to ceramics. In his work, Paulo Óscar predominantly employs ancient techniques, often using rustic red and yellow ocher pastes to create distinct structures within his pieces. His unique artistic style lends itself to a multiplicity of forms and expressions. Paulo Óscar's artwork can be found in both public and private collections, and he has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout his career.
