"Raku: Explorations in Ceramics" by Mexican Artist, Ileana Moreno.

During this summer, Ileana has embarked on a captivating journey into the world of Raku ceramics, and we are eager to present her remarkable creations. Raku ceramics, celebrated for their distinctive firing process, involve the daring act of removing pieces from the kiln while they still glow with fiery intensity. These pieces are then placed into combustible materials, resulting in spontaneous and mesmerizing glaze effects. Each artwork is a testament to the unpredictable beauty of this technique. Ileana Moreno is a Mexican visual artist with a rich background in fashion design. Ileana's artistic journey is deeply rooted in the need for perpetual transformation, echoing the ever-changing landscape of our world filled with plastics, industrial materials, and shifting cultural paradigms.
