MARIA PEDRO MARQUES PINTO OLAIO
Island:
São Jorge - VelasBiography:
Graduated in ceramics by the School of Artistic
Technologies of Coimbra. The work of Maria Olaio reveals an unprecedented
interaction with nature in the creation of ceramic pieces, her creative process
being initiated with the use of clay of the island of Santa Maria in its pure
state and the coloration carried out by the contamination of microorganisms
present in the thermal springs of Furnas, in São Miguel.
