The Santiago De Borja Charapita vase features handpainted expressionistic artwork depicting flowers and foliage in naturalistic colors with two fish in warm, earthy tones at the base. Its elaborate curved handles connect the bottom to the upper section, while the folk-style paintings reflect Amazonian village life. The ceramic construction combines fine art with functional design, and the sculptural form creates spectacular displays when dressed with bright florals.
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 'Charapita' vase features flowers and foliage in naturalistic colors, and two fish in warm, earthy tones at the base. The simplicity of style is offset by elaborate, curved handles that connect the bottom of the vase to the upper section. A sculptural work of art in its own right, this multicolor vase can be dressed with bright florals for spectacular displays.
