Lovely Pottery Figurine Hand Oil Painting 1976 signed S. Height: 5.0" x Width 3.3" x Depth 2.0. Very good considering age and use (there is a chip on the upper right corner, please see photos). Espinosa graduated in 1953 from the Academia de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires and worked in a ceramics factory until she opened her own studio in 1958. Since 1989 she has belonged to the International Academy of Ceramics, and her work has won medals and honorable mentions at many international events.

Since the seventies, she has received countless commissions for ceramic murals around the island, the best known of which is at the Bacardi distillery. In 1977, she joined the Manos group, and in 1980 she-along with Hogan, Toni Hambleton, and Jaime Suárez-founded Casa Candina, where she continued to work and teach classes in ceramics. Her most personal work portrays quasi-mythological figures, produced with impeccable technique. The item pictured is the actual item you will receive and is part of the item's description.
