'Santiago De Borja, Sapote' vase, multicolor

Shirley Villavicencio Pizango's expressionistic paintings enliven a series of vases for Serax. Colorful vessels in imaginative forms traverse fine art and ceramics. In 'Santiago de Borja', folk-style paintings reflect aspects of life and nature in the Amazonian village where the Belgian-Peruvian artist spent much of her childhood. The handpainted pieces bring the tropical atmosphere of her work to life. This small 'Sapote' vase features a spontaneous portrait of a woman on one side in red, and vegetation on the other, in yellow and blue. The simplicity of style is offset by green branch-like arms that connect over the vase's opening. A work of art in its own right, this multicolor vase can be dressed with bright florals for spectacular displays.
