Marina Fecchino Vieyra

For me, touching clay and creating with my hands is like meditating. I started working with ceramics just six years ago, initially as a hobby, a moment of calm in my chaotic life at the time. Little by little, I realized that ceramics was what I really wanted to do with my life.

Today, after a lot of inner work, I dared to follow this path of having my own ceramics workshop to bring this craft to those who want to meditate through clay and freely create pieces that reflect the beauty of this material's imperfection.

Atelier is my place to bring my art to others and gradually grow this life project.

Meet the artists behind the art

I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was captivated watching my mother hang her enormous oil paintings around the house, and from my parents I inherited a love for photography, I still keep and use their analog cameras. I frame everything; everything stirs in me the need to capture that instant forever, even the everyday.

I grew up surrounded by gardens where flowers were the true protagonists, tended to with devotion. That bond finds its way into my work: vibrant colors, organic shapes, and a freedom that allows me to invent. I don’t seek perfect precision; I prefer to lose myself in colors, in imperfect lines, and in the feeling of peace and harmony I wish to convey.

My art is who I am in that moment, without masks or labels. Sometimes it is a burst of color; other times, a play of shapes and shadows.

In Valoria, I found a place to share not only my own work, but also that of other artists who seek to reveal their essence without the need to fit into a mold.
