The Organelle Series

Sculptural ceramic forms exploring lamellar structures, organic growth and the interconnected nature of living systems.

Hand-built sculptural ceramics

Each piece is made slowly by hand, allowing form to grow through rhythm, structure, and organic movement.
My practice explores the tension between refinement and rawness, leaving visible traces of the making.

About the Artist

Laura Ramírez is a contemporary ceramic artist based in Madrid, Spain. She creates sculptural ceramic works through slow hand-building processes, exploring organic growth and structural rhythm.

Working primarily with coil construction, she develops intricate lamellar forms that evoke the layered complexity found across living systems. Her sculptures investigate ideas of connection, transformation and the shared structures that link different forms of life.

Her ongoing Organelle series presents unique ceramic sculptures that balance fragility and strength, emphasizing the tactile presence of clay and the rhythm of hand-built form.
