The Cocona vase features handpainted expressionistic artwork by Belgian-Peruvian artist Shirley Villavicencio Pizango, part of her Santiago de Borja series inspired by Amazonian village life. One side depicts a spontaneously drawn palm in white on green, while the other shows a snake rendered in tones of yellow and blue. Elaborate curved handles offset the simplicity of the painted style, adding a sculptural quality to the ceramic form.
Shirley Villavicencio Pizango's expressionistic paintings enliven a series of vases for Serax. Colorful vessels in imaginative forms traverse fine art and ceramics. In 'Santiago de Borja', folk-style paintings reflect aspects of life and nature in the Amazonian village where the Belgian-Peruvian artist spent much of her childhood. The handpainted pieces bring the tropical atmosphere of her work to life. The 'Cocona' vase depicts a spontaneously drawn palm on one side, in white on green, and a snake on the other, in tones of yellow and blue. The simplicity of style is offset by elaborate curved handles. A work of art in its own right, this multicolor vase can be dressed with bright florals for spectacular displays.
