Madre Abstract Teal Ceramic Mother and Child Sculpture from Peru

Jacobo Potosme celebrates maternal love and protection in this minimalist piece. He sculpts an abstract mother and child form in terracotta and colors them in a deep teal using natural pigments from pulverized rocks. Each side of the piece is decorated by two panels with geometric designs. The artist signs his work as Jacobo Potosme – Nicaragua

Potosme learned to work ceramic from his mother and his uncle. His art has helped him forge a path in life for himself and has aided him in a years-long battle with alcoholism. Working with earth makes him feel as if he can create something out of nothing.
