Minúscula Ceramics

Sandra Alonso (Seville, 1993) is a sculptor and ceramic artist who has been working with clay since 2021. She develops her visual and sculptural work under the name Minúscula Ceramics.

Her approach to clay has led to several collaborative projects, including murals combining painting and ceramics for Erika Lust's studio in Barcelona and a custom collection of hand-modelled porcelain vases curated by We Are Ona.

She is also a member of Diumengem, a multidisciplinary women's collective that self-manages exhibitions in alternative spaces, outside the traditional white-cube format. Her work has been shown in the collective's exhibitions Puede ser en el bosque and Puede ser en tu casa.

Minúscula Ceramics explores the human body and nature. The body carries a symbolic meaning set against a nostalgia for the ephemeral, while nature is approached as a source of raw, mystical power.

Alonso conceives the body as an object loaded with memory and evocative capacity. Through her work she builds a catalogue of bodily gestures that operates as a dictionary of sensations, turning matter into a device that activates the viewer's sensory and reflective experience.

Her sculptures enter into dialogue with the historical tradition of figuration while investigating a contemporary sensibility.
