Mar Villegas Manzano
About
Mar Villegas explores personal narratives through flower and petal making in porcelain. Individually caressed as delicately and thinly as possible, her pieces draw from memories of love, care, and loss—translated into intimate, tactile forms that often retain her skin imprints. Shaped by repetition and rituals, each gesture holds a sense of persistence embedded into her day-to-day life.
Positioned at the intersection of autobiographical contemporary feminist theory and traditional ceramic botanical art, ‘Con el tiempo y un ganchito’, intrinsically relates to care: for making, for contemplating, for treasuring —memories, feelings, people— Flowers and petals serve as both, offerings and vessels of human experience.
Mar enjoys examining the interplay between porcelain and light, central to her ideas of transience and framing of her work.
