MATERIAL AND PROCESS

Each sculpture is built slowly through coiling and pinching. Its repeated structure is developed by hand, leaving visible traces of construction and preserving the tactile presence of clay.

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

Working primarily with a traditional coiling technique, 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.
