A New Era in Stoneware: The Art of Nora Pineda

Nora Pineda,Reinventing the Art of Stoneware: Nora Pineda Articles a sculptor hailing from Bakersfield, California, is set to showcase her extraordinary stoneware creations at Chelsea’s Agora Gallery in New York. The exhibition, titled "Sensorial Realities," will be open from July 5 to July 25, 2017, with a special reception on July 6 from 6-8 pm.

The Unique Aesthetic of Nora Pineda

Pineda's stoneware pieces are a testament to her unique artistic vision. Her sculptures, which often depict animals and human forms, are characterized by their undulating shapes and flowing curves. These forms evoke the natural beauty of her native California, reminiscent of Art Nouveau and Surrealist styles. Her work is a celebration of roundness, with every surface curving away from the viewer, creating a sense of infinite extension.

A Palette Beyond Earth Tones

While Pineda frequently employs fiery oranges and warm browns, her color palette is far from limited. She expands the definition of "earth tones" to include deep purples, vibrant blues, and even hints of iridescence. This diverse color range adds a rich character to her pieces, making them stand out in the world of stoneware art.

Influences and Background

Born in Bakersfield, California, Pineda draws inspiration from Southwestern art and her Mexican heritage. Her multifaceted career also includes roles as a massage therapist, spiritual counselor, and healing energy worker, all of which influence her artistic practice.
