Scotland-based Spanish Ceramicist

Each stage of Borja’s process leads to ceramic pieces that condense his upbringing on the northern Spanish coast; its colours, textures and pace. He aims to create calm and neutral minimalistic objects and compositions, following simple forms in a soft tone palette hoping to alleviate the eye. Since his studies in architecture, he has been drawn to modern architecture dedicated to showcasing the materials of a structure as well as the simple and minimal lines of the architect’s vision. When creating ceramic pieces, he explains how “I try to communicate my heritage, my passion for material, the alchemy behind firings and the connection between purpose and beauty.”
