ABOUT
Marina Vieira de Mendonça
Crafts

Born into a family that is passionate about art, Marina Mendonça soon discovered that working clay was much more than a way of life. Her time at the ARCO school of arts consolidated her artistic training. Marina Mendonça fulfilled her dream of having her own studio and, back in the Azores after a few years living in Lisbon, she is inspired by the magical stories of the islands. The artist creates designer ceramic pieces in soft colours and with a lightness of design, whether these are faience pieces, “little monsters” or hanging vases.

Oriunda de uma família apaixonada pela Arte, Marina Mendonça cedo descobriu que trabalhar o barro era muito mais que um modo de vida. A passagem pela escola de artes do ARCO consolidou a sua formação artística. Marina Mendonça cumpriu o sonho de ter o seu próprio atelier e, de regresso aos Açores, após uns anos a viver em Lisboa, inspira-se nas histórias mágicas das Ilhas. A artista cria peças de cerâmica de autor, de cores suaves e de uma leveza de design, seja os objectos de faiança, os “monstrinhos” ou os vasos suspensos.
