Candidatos Premio Producto Artesano 2024

a) “Colección seda de acero” de José Soler Navarro

The Colección Sedas de Acero es una innovadora propuesta de arte contemporáneo que fusiona la dureza del acero con la suavidad visual de la seda, creando una experiencia sensorial única. Estas esculturas verticales de pared son el reflejo de una nueva realidad artesanal, en la que el contraste entre materiales y sensaciones genera una atmósfera de sorpresa y asombro.

Con una maestría impecable, las piezas logran un efecto de trampantojo, haciendo que el espectador dude si está ante un tejido delicado o un metal resistente. Inspiradas en la textura de los papeles arrugados que evocan recuerdos de la infancia, cada obra es una interpretación única que combina formas sinuosas y colores vibrantes. La serie, además, incorpora un juego de luces y sombras, gracias al efecto espejo que multiplica la luz y crea una danza visual en el espacio.

Con la Serie Sedas de Acero, el artista no solo desafía las expectativas sobre los materiales, sino que también aporta una nueva perspectiva al arte decorativo contemporáneo, llevando la artesanía hacia nuevas fronteras estéticas. Cada pieza, en su singularidad, invita a repensar la relación entre lo cotidiano y lo sublime.

b) “Kintsugi: Rueda de la Vida” de Vanesa Castaño

La obra “Kintsugi: Rueda de la Vida” es una pieza cerámica en forma de tondo, cuya superficie está grabada con motivos que evocan un mandala por sus formas concéntricas y geométricas. Ha sido realizada en Pasta E, una loza de color blanco, cubierta con un engobe azul cobalto que aporta color y profundidad. El proceso incluye dos cocciones a baja temperatura (1000ºC), siendo la última una cocción esmaltada que otorga un acabado brillante, característico de la cerámica.

La pieza fue voluntariamente fracturada para aplicar la técnica japonesa del Kintsugi, simbolizando la reparación y el renacimiento. Cada grieta ha sido resaltada con una mezcla de resina epoxi y polvo de oro, destacando las roturas en lugar de ocultarlas. Este enfoque subraya la belleza de las cicatrices, tanto físicas como emocionales, mostrando cómo las heridas pueden transformarse en fuentes de crecimiento y resiliencia.

Su trabajo como ceramista puede encontrarse en Instagram bajo la marca registrada “Mamita is Love” (Vanesa Cataño García).

c) “Colección Belich” de Teresa Andreu

La colección Belich de Tessara, creada por la reconocida joyera Tesi Andreu, es una auténtica alabanza al mar y a todo lo que este nos ofrece. Inspirada en el nombre que recibía el Mar Menor durante la época árabe, Belich busca rendir homenaje a este entorno único y frágil a nivel mundial.

A través de piezas de joyería que combinan arte y naturaleza, la colección destaca la importancia de preservar nuestro ecosistema marino. Caballitos de mar, fartets y nacras, tres especies en peligro de extinción, se convierten en protagonistas de esta obra, junto a cuatro modelos adicionales, todos diseñados con meticulosa atención al detalle.

La intención de la colección Belich va más allá de la estética; es un llamado a la conciencia medioambiental. Tesi Andreu nos invita a reflexionar sobre la responsabilidad compartida que tenemos en la conservación de los mares y sus especies. Cada pieza simboliza un fragmento de vida marina, recordándonos la urgencia de proteger estos hábitats.

La fusión de tradición artesana y un mensaje de sostenibilidad convierte a Belich en una candidatura ejemplar para el Premio Producto Artesano, representando tanto la excelencia artística como un profundo respeto por la naturaleza.

d) “La higuera de mi abuela Rosario” de Charo Romero

“La higuera de mi abuela Rosario” es un nombre hermoso y significativo para Charo Romero. Captura perfectamente la esencia y la inspiración detrás de sus creaciones, rindiendo homenaje a la fuerza, la memoria y el renacimiento; simbolizados por la higuera plantada por su abuela y cuidada por su padre. Este nombre no solo añade una capa adicional de profundidad y narrativa a sus piezas, sino que también las conecta con mi historia personal llena de significado y emoción.

La conexión emocional que comparte, basada en el ciclo de la vida de una higuera que renace con fuerzas tras ser cortada, refleja un profundo sentimiento de resiliencia, renovación y continuidad a pesar de las adversidades y pérdidas.

Al incorporar estos significados personales sus creaciones artesanales, como el vestido denim con lentejuelas de porcelana y el armazón alambrado inspirado en las raíces de las plantas, así como el proyecto de hojas de higuera estampadas, quiere transmitir no solo una historia visualmente impactante, sino también un mensaje emocionalmente poderoso.

La combinación de elementos naturales y artificiales evoca la dualidad entre fragilidad y fortaleza, entre lo efímero y lo perdurable. La idea de renacimiento y crecimiento después de la pérdida se refleja no solo en la estética de mis piezas, sino también en la narrativa que las sustenta.

Al unir la belleza visual y la profundidad emocional en sus proyectos artesanales, crea una experiencia estética que va más allá de lo decorativo, invitando a quien los contempla a reflexionar sobre la vida, la memoria y la resiliencia.

e) “Colección fuentes de cerámica marinas” de Martín Lario García

Esta propuesta consiste en una colección de seis decoraciones creadas hace dos años, representadas en seis fuentes de 48 a 50 cm de diámetro. Cada pieza presenta un diseño único y ha sido elaborada artesanalmente en torno alfarero, utilizando arcilla de su propia cantera. Las fuentes han sido cubiertas con engobe de tierra blanca, esgrafiadas a mano con punzón, pintadas con colorantes cerámicos, esmaltadas y cocidas a una temperatura de 1.050 °C.

La inspiración de los diseños proviene de motivos marinos, respondiendo a la alta demanda de nuestros clientes de la costa mediterránea. Los seis diseños principales que conforman esta serie son:

  1. Pulpo
  2. Medusa
  3. Calamar
  4. Caballa
  5. Peces de colores
  6. Pececillos coloridos

Cada pieza refleja un delicado equilibrio entre tradición artesanal y una temática que conecta con el entorno marino y la estética contemporánea.

f) Bolso “La alegría de la Huerta” de Strambótica

Bolso “La alegría de la Huerta” creado por strambótica, es una alegoría al limón murciano, la fruta más representativa de nuestra tierra, buscando rendir homenaje a uno de los pilares de nuestra región.

Con este diseño confeccionado en papel reciclado y materiales sostenibles queremos visibilizar y poner en valor, la importancia de utilizar materiales innovadores en la artesanía.

Más allá de las tradiciones, este bolso demuestra que la artesanía puede evolucionar y adaptarse a las necesidades de nuestro tiempo, sin renunciar a su esencia.

El papel reciclado no solo es respetuoso con el medio ambiente, sino que también ofrece infinitas posibilidades creativas, como lo demuestra este diseño único.

g) “Paisaje” de Rocío La Pequeña

LA CASA habla sobre agradecimiento, aceptación y reconciliación con el cuerpo, entendiéndolo como el hogar que se habita. Habla sobre de dónde vengo y a dónde voy, sobre posicionarse en el presente, sobre amar el proceso y el continente, utilizando la tradición como el medio para expresarlo.

Para crear esta serie de obras, Rocío, ha combinado el bordado, la pintura y el collage con tela, con la intención de incluir en el proceso artístico contemporáneo, elementos y procedimientos relacionadas con las labores que se han llevado a cabo, casi siempre, por mujeres durante tantas generaciones.

Ha sido un acto simbólico para enterrar el hacha de guerra con nuestros cuerpos y dejar de escuchar el bombardeo social y continuo que nos sugiere que nunca serán “suficiente”; puntada a puntada, pincelada a pincelada; para volver a sentirnos como en casa, con nosotras mismas.

Las telas han sido meticulosa y cariñosamente elegidas, en su mayoría con motivos florales, con las que hago un guiño a la cultura flamenca, a la que me siento muy vinculada y que también es parte de la tradición de nuestra región y de nuestro país.

Para estos premios presenta la obra titulada Paisaje.

h) “Colección huerta” de Verónica Maccorin Biasoli

i) “Miapulpa: iluminación artesanal y sostenible” de Constanza López Orbea

Miapulpa es un proyecto de artesanía sostenible dedicado a la creación de lámparas únicas a partir de papel reciclado. A través de un proceso artesanal que transforma las hojas de papel usado en una nueva materia prima: la masa de papel. Un bonito proceso completamente circular que comienza con el reciclaje del papel, continúa con su transformación y culmina con un producto reciclable y de alto valor estético.
Cada lámpara de Miapulpa se moldea cuidadosamente a mano, utilizando tanto moldes prefabricados como creados artesanalmente, lo que permite una amplia variedad de formas y diseños personalizados. La masa de papel, que se obtiene al mezclar la pulpa con un aglutinante natural, aporta texturas únicas y patrones orgánicos, añadiendo carácter y autenticidad a cada pieza.
Miapulpa no solo busca embellecer los interiores con piezas únicas, sino también transmitir un fuerte compromiso con el respeto al medio ambiente. Cada lámpara es una expresión de cómo la sostenibilidad y la innovación artesanal pueden fusionarse en el diseño decorativo contemporáneo, ofreciendo piezas que destacan por su estética, funcionalidad y responsabilidad ecológica.

d) “Beeswax Candles” Collection by Elena M. Esteban. Beeswax candles are the result of a laborious process that begins with the collection of wax from the honeycombs of bees in the Region of Murcia. With their beautiful golden color and sweet, natural fragrance, they add a touch of charm and elegance to any space, in addition to being aesthetically appealing, they are an environmentally friendly option. This makes them an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic wax or paraffin candles. Beeswax has a higher melting point than paraffin, which means beeswax candles have greater heat resistance and can burn longer without melting or dripping. This ensures longer life and long-lasting enjoyment. In short, beeswax candles are a true artisanal gem that combines beauty, fragrance and quality.
