Cerâmica como expressão subjetiva: a autodescoberta a partir do barro

Abstract

Ceramics is held in this study as a vehicle for self-discovery and expression of the artist's creative identity. Based on a brief historical review and interdisciplinary concepts, in addition to a selection of artists' reports, we sought to examine how the process of self-knowledge occurs in artistic production. Ceramics, as a form of artistic expression, is presented here as a path through which the artist explores its own journey. Self-discovery, here defined as the intimate analysis of personal experiences and the shaping of the self, serves as a starting point in the development of the ceramic works presented as a practical result of this research. The process without a final destination constitutes a continuous journey of personal and productive maturation and discovery of one's own identity. The means of production are as essential as the resulting works.
