Jacobo de la Serna is an award winning ceramic artist and Spanish Colonial scholar. His work is exhibited permanently nationwide. Andrew Connors, Curator of the Albuquerque Museum has said of de la Serna's work:
"Vessels are astoundingly sensuous and exist as pure contemporary sculpture, however his knowledge of past production, technique, and aesthetics means that they are not simply disassociated objects within the art-for-art's-sake idiom. Supreme craftsmanship combined with refined and elegant aesthetics gives rise to great art. Adding knowledge of age-old technologies to that mix gives rise to deeply rooted and profound objects with cultural and contemporary relevance. The work Jacobo creates represents the future of the art form. De la Serna is keeping tradition alive by preventing it from stagnating."
Measures 7" h x 5" w
