The Pijuayo vase features handpainted folk-style imagery by Shirley Villavicencio Pizango, depicting a portrait of a woman on one side and the fruit of the beach palm on the other. An elaborate laddered handle in blue runs along one side, providing both a functional grip and a bold decorative accent. The handpainted ceramic construction reflects the Santiago de Borja series' blend of fine art expression and traditional vessel 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 'Pijuayo' vase features a portrait of a woman on one side, and the fruit of the beach palm on the other. The simplicity of style is offset by an elaborate laddered handle on one side in blue. A work of art in its own right, this multicolor vase can be dressed with bright florals for spectacular displays.
