Greed | Ceramic Sculpture | Mina Gallos

Half fantastic beast, half devil, Greed is one of those creatures that only Mina Gallos's imagination could conjure. The artist starts from the traditional figures of Barcelos figurado, where devils and bizarre creatures have a long history, and transforms them into unique beings, free of any rules of form or style.

Green dominates the piece, broken by touches of red that give it intensity and an unsettling edge. The name evokes one of the seven deadly sins, but the approach is the one that runs through all of the artist's work: irreverent, expressive and with a good dose of humor.

Modeled, painted and glazed by hand, each creature is born with its own expression and is never repeated. A piece for those who love folk art with personality and a story to tell.

Unique piece: even when the artist revisits the theme, each work is modeled and painted by hand and is never the same as another.
