MARÍLIA DE FÁTIMA SALVADOR HIPÓLITO
Island:
Flores - Sta Cruz FloresBiography:
The
work of the artisan Marília Hipólito mirrors the connection between her
academic training – architecture – and the Azorean tradition of ceramic and
tile painting. Marília Hipólito intends to create and commercialize a line of
atisanal products of excellence that represent her creative identity in the
interpretation of the environment that surrounds her. The product she presents
runs away from the trace and traditional colors parameters. She does not look
for forms associated with a direct reality, but interpreted, playing with
geometry, the stain, the color and the line. Through a artisanal practice with
tradition in the Azores she presents an innovative vision and application.
Since March 2018, Maria Hipólito has been part of the
Azores Craft Lab – Handicrafts of the Azores Incubator, with her project Maria
Hipólito Atelier.
