Júlia Isidrez
As part of the Pinta Sud | ASU program we will visit the workshop of the renowned ceramic artist from the city of Itá, Julia Isídrez, who with her hands molds and shapes clay, turning it into beautiful works of art that have already been exhibited in various galleries in the country and in different parts of the world.
Julia Isídrez has been creating clay pieces with her hands for over 30 years, crossing borders and receiving national and international awards. She started when she was 17 years old, under the guidance of her mother, the ceramist Juana Marta Rodas. As a child, she always followed her mother to the farm, where she saw many animals and insects. In the Julia House Museum, she exhibits her own works as well as those of her mother. Her mother passed away in 2013, but before that, she passed on her knowledge and art, which have been transmitted from generation to generation.
Her artworks, whimsical objects driven by pure imagination and the unstoppable creative impulse of these rural artists, have become one of the most original testimonies of contemporary popular art in Paraguay.
