Adrien is a sculptor and artist based in Seattle. He studied ceramics in the California Art College. It is a very talented and creative person and in our opinion, it is a real pro in the manufacture of pottery with super realistic faces. He says there is no secret meaning behind these faces, he just likes to do that. Adrien says it's not his job to add a sense to his projects, each person will find his own meaning.

The only thing that is intentional is facial expressions, it does not get angry or something like that. Adrien wants facial expressions to be soothing and serene so that they can hop the feeling of calm, calm and serenity in the lives of people who buy his works. He just likes the idea of ​​integrating art into everyday life, and since eating and drinking is a daily ritual for all of us, he has had no sense to integrate art into cups and plates.

So, how does Adrien make these wonderful plates? Well, it's actually a fairly simple process. It starts with a drinking wheel, like any other potter to make a piece of pottery.

He makes a plate or cup, or a bowl, whatever he feels like that day. And then once it's done, Adrien begins to sculpt the faces of the hand. In some cases, he uses faces of people he knows, in others, it is fair to deal with particular facial expressions.

Once it is happy with the form it uses tools to add more details to faces, to make deeper and more precise lines, to bring out the characteristics more clearly. After that, the bisque just pulls the plates and covers them in the glaze.

Sometimes it will make simply white plates, sometimes it will choose a color or two. When Adrien strike inspiration will make multicolored parts. This is the way it feels in the moment and what it wants to do with a particular work of art.

We would also like to emphasize that while we focused on its pottery, Adrien also makes sculptures out of glass and creates real sculptures, not just plates. In his free time, he also enjoys yoga and skateboard. He is a pretty fascinating person in fact and it looks like he was not one to be limited to one thing. He likes to explore and try new things and experience life in many ways. If you want to check more of his work, certainly check hisInstagram.
