Cone 6 porcelain, underglaze, 22k gold luster, Height 5.3 inches; volume 24 fluid ounces
Florentina Looper is a Filipino-American artist specializing in hand-sculpted, porcelain functional artwork adorned with with highly-detailed underglaze paintings. Trained as a classical painter, she creates original, figurative and floral paintings on both porcelain and canvas. “I'd like my art to be elegant, if not beautifully strange, and always breathtaking to its beholder. As I create, I’m aiming to craft an heirloom piece whose magic endures past my generation. My aesthetic is heavily influenced by the great 19th century Impressionists, 19th century Western literature illustration, Medieval mysticism and iconography, and Pre-Raphaelite and Art Nouveau figurativism. Like many others, I see a depth of beauty in classic depictions of goddesses and nymphs, in the symmetry and vitality of young flowers and animals, but I prefer to reference these inspirations with intentional imperfection, asymmetry, and a hint of deterioration. For me, my art represents a personal act of creative defiance within a more encompassing, deferential ode to entropy.”
