Caballo ibérico (Iberian horse) is made of stoneware and individually treated on its surface with iron, manganese and cobalt oxides, under an ash glaze, using a mixed technique: wax reserve and graffito, executed manually and finished in a single firing at 1250°. c.
Each piece receives an individualized surface treatment that makes it a unique and unrepeatable work, with the handwritten signature of its author. Multiple symbolic meanings converge, sometimes opposed or contradictory, in the horse.
In the memory of many cultures is a common belief to associate the horse with the darkness from which it arises, galloping like blood in the veins from the bowels of the earth or the abysses of the sea. It is at the same time, bearer of death and life, linked to the destructive and regenerating fire.
The Iberian term to reter to our peninsula, already applied in classical Greece, adds connotations of assimilation of the characteristics of the multiple peoples that have invaded and occupied it. In this case it refers to the formal styling inspired by the representations of Iberian Art.
