A ceramist and sculptor, Gemma Piera investigates textures and reliefs with paper and clay. The manipulation of the paper has allowed the artist to delve into the expressive possibilities of textures different from those she usually works with, such as ceramics. Her training as a ceramist represents the backbone to carry out her artistic creations, not so much in the world of ceramics -as in the handling of other materials - and the combination of ceramic pastes with iron, plastic or other mediums depending on the piece she wants to create. The relationship with clay and ceramic pastes is indispensable when working with ceramics and sculptures.

“The sense of touch represents an essential mean to carry out the artwork, it is the main strength to create a direct link with all the different sensations.”

Graduate in Applied Arts, specializing in ceramics, from the “Llotja” School of Arts & Crafts in Barcelona. Gemma Piera has exhibited in various art spaces and galleries in Andorra and Spain.
