Sphere gliese 55 white | YOYO BALAGUÉ

€0.00

Sphere Gliese 55 White is a contemporary ceramic artwork by Yoyo Balagué that explores luminosity, material balance, and the quiet tension held within pure form. Shaped into a bright, atmospheric sphere, the piece reveals subtle textures and mineral shifts created through a meticulous process of hand-modelling, multiple firings, and controlled surface treatments.
Through delicate variations in tone and porosity, the sphere becomes a record of light interacting with matter — a dialogue between earth, fire, and the artist’s precise touch. Its nuanced irregularities, intentional yet understated, reflect the harmony between control and natural emergence, transforming ceramic practice into a sculptural expression of clarity and resonance.
Minimal yet evocative, Sphere Gliese 55 White captures Balagué’s mastery in shaping elemental materials into objects of stillness and presence, offering a contemplative experience rooted in luminosity, tactility, and refined contemporary form.

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.
