Maru Piacentini - OPTART ANALYSIS II - 2026 - relieve de...

About the piece: Wall relief with Op Art aesthetics Exceptional mural art piece with a powerful visual and geometric impact. This work stands out for its irregular and three-dimensional format, creating a dynamic chessboard pattern (black and white) that plays with perspective, distortion, and volume according to the light and the angle from which it is viewed. Technique / Style: Relief / Wall sculpture – Op Art / Optical and Kinetic Art. Design: Distorted geometric pattern on a relief surface. Color palette: Contrasting black and white. Presentation: Designed to hang directly on the wall without a frame (floating and integrated effect). Condition: Excellent state of conservation. Decoration / Interior design note: Thanks to its sculptural and iconic character, it is a perfect centerpiece piece for modern living rooms, Nordic-style or minimalist spaces, or environments with noble surfaces such as wood or exposed cement. OPTART ANALYSIS II 30 x 30 x 6 cm Medium: black & cream speckled porcelain 1220ºC (hand direct sculpted and painted) COMES WITH CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY About the artist: María Eugenia Piacentini (Buenos Aires, 1981), self-taught from a very young age, feels the vital need to create and recreate space without time limits, fascinated by materializing what she visualized only in her mind. She wished to study plastic surgery, but ultimately trained in Applied Arts to Sculpture at the La Palma School of Art in Madrid and at the Francisco Alcántara Ceramic School, after working in characterization and makeup for special effects for theater and cinema. Today she sculpts her pieces with surgical precision and dazzling delicacy according to a Barcelona art critic. She has exhibited individually and collectively in Mallorca, Madrid, Teruel, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Ourense, Rome, Miami, Paris, Zurich, Singapore, Coburg, and Munich, with five recognitions as finalist in ceramic work in Spain and Australia (CERCO 2017 and 2019, Beautiful Bizarre Art Magazine 2025, Certamen Pieza Única 2026 Navarrete and the International Ceramics Biennial of Vendrell) and the GCB prize for one of her most famous pieces “Wolf light” at the Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale 2026, South Korea. Piacentini: “Art awakens us from a deep dream, throwing us free and conscious into a world that normally does not seem so.” Influenced by Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and surrealism, she uses ceramics for its spontaneity, letting the work flow on its own, perhaps pursuing or confessing existential doubts. Her work reflects a cultural and social milestone, manifesting the subconscious and a shared world of magical ideas with emphasis on inner strength despite human vulnerability. Reality speaks with synchronicities and meaningful dreams, urging her to explore beyond. Through paradox and irreverent imagery she highlights gestures and forms capable of communicating symbolism, emotion, narrative or raw energy. She uses realism and deep expression to impact and awaken her audience from their dream.” Press / art criticism: https://lasiestamagazine.mallorcadiario.com/panorama/el-arte-no-es-morirse-de-frio/summa-y-sigue/ Artist interview: https://www.artmajeur.com/es/magazine/8-retratos-de-artistas/maria-eugenia-piacentini-veron-solo-estaba-en-mi-mente/333583 Solo and group exhibitions of M.
