How It's Made

Each heart is hand-painted in a rich red then distressed with a dark varnish rub adding dimension and a unique vintage appearance. The wings are finished with gold foil then the entire piece also finished with a dark varnish rub. Both the heart and wings are cleverly fused together with metal wires. The wires attach inside the ceramic to each wing allowing the wings to be manipulated or adjusted to your liking.
Each heart is created from very dense and durable terracotta clay that is fired in a kiln heated with wood. Display Indoor or outdoor (in a covered area). Equipped to also hang on the wall. A dimensional sculpture, that is fused with metal wires which allow the accents (hearts) to be moved/manipulated.

Artisan Story

Zenwaro's collaborative relationship with the artist and master ceramicist, Rafael Piñeda, began 12 years ago. His experience with terracotta began at a young age, under the training of an uncle who was sculptural artist also working with terracotta clay. Rafael’s immediate family does not lack talented ceramicists, both uncles and one aunt are accomplished ceramic artists. 

Rafael’s mentoring uncle was visually impaired and years later became completely blind. But the lack of sight never halted Luis's devotion for sculpting, rather he continued working until his death in 2019. Rafael cures/bakes all of his pieces in a wood-fired kiln, he has resisted the urge to convert his production model to a gas-fired, modern kiln. Rafael’s creativity observes the "traditional way" where he can control every aspect of the firing process.
