Commissions
Sculptural Works for Interiors
One-of-a-kind sculptural works created in ceramic, glass and light. Handmade and fired in my studio in Palmela, Portugal. From lighting and vessels to site-specific commissions, each piece is designed to become part of the identity of a space rather than simply an object within it.
Collections
Sculptural Lighting
Statement lighting for residential, hospitality and public interiors.
Vessels
Collectible teapots, vases and sculptural vessels that balance function with artistic expression.
Sculptural Objects
One-of-a-kind ceramic and mixed-media objects created to transform the atmosphere of a space.
Wall Pieces
Architectural ceramic works designed as focal elements within interiors.
Each work is one of a kind or part of a small artist series. No mass production.
Artistic Approach
My work explores the relationship between material, body and ritual. I create objects that exist between sculpture and function, pieces that invite attention, curiosity and a slower way of experiencing a space. Whether it is a lamp, a vessel or a sculptural object, each work is intended to shape the atmosphere of an interior as much as its appearance.
Why Work with Maria
Every project begins with the space itself. Rather than adapting existing products, each commission is developed as a unique response to its environment, combining sculpture, material research and craftsmanship. The result is an artwork that belongs to the architecture and becomes part of the experience of the place.
