Vicente Prieto Gaggero

Prieto Gaggero explores the primal essence of clay in his art, experimenting with its textures and forms to express thoughts and emotions. He combines modern techniques with the raw nature of the material, creating objects that evoke both the primitive and the contemporary. His work merges natural elements—earth, water, air, and fire—to delve into universal themes such as mystery, love, and human conflict.

He draws inspiration from ancestral traditions, such as pre- Columbian pottery, while incorporating influences from more recent artistic movements like Art Nouveau, neo-pop, and cyberpunk. In essence, his art seeks to connect the past with the present through new forms and meanings.
