Sphere gliese 55 earthy pink | YOYO BALAGUÉ

€0.00

Sphere Gliese 55 Earthy Pink is a contemporary ceramic artwork by Yoyo Balagué that explores warmth, mineral tactility, and the expressive nuance of earth-toned material. Formed into a softly hued spherical body, the piece reveals intricate textures and natural markings resulting from an intensive process of hand-modelling, layered slip applications, and precisely controlled firings.
Its warm pink mineral tones, subtly shifting across the surface, evoke geological formations shaped by pressure, sediment, and time. Each variation becomes a trace of transformation, capturing the dynamic interplay between clay, fire, and the artist’s intuitive gestures. The sphere’s gentle irregularities deepen its sense of presence, transforming it into a sculptural object where organic spontaneity and technical refinement coexist.
Minimal yet sensorial, Sphere Gliese 55 Earthy Pink reflects Balagué’s ability to translate elemental materials into contemplative forms, offering a grounded and intimate expression of color, texture, and contemporary ceramic language.

About the artist

YOYO BALAGUÉ

Yoyo Balagué approaches creation as a physical and instinctive act, where the body becomes the essential tool for shaping her work. With a multidisciplinary background in art and movement, her practice is rooted in exploring intuition and spatial connection through gesture.

Since the beginning of her career, she has developed a unique artistic language in which abstraction and minimalism merge to capture the essence of the moment. Her work reflects a pursuit of the essential through direct interaction with materials such as clay, canvas, and paper. She has drawn the attention of galleries and collectors for her ability to evoke sensations beyond form.

Yoyo works in deep concentration, often with her eyes closed, allowing movement to flow freely. Her creative process is a meditation in itself, a journey toward the purity of experience. The absence of superfluous elements in her pieces reinforces her search for the fundamental, establishing a dialogue between body, material, and emptiness.

For Balagué, art is more than an object—it is a sensory experience that transforms both space and those who inhabit it. Her work invites a perception beyond the visual, fostering an intimate connection with materiality and the present moment. Each piece becomes a trace of movement, an imprint of time and energy, where gesture and matter coexist in perfect balance.

Her artistic approach extends beyond traditional mediums, embracing performance and site-specific installations that highlight the fluidity of the creative act. Through her work, she challenges the boundaries between body and space, revealing the invisible forces that shape our perception.
