DAVID ROSELL PÉREZ

David Rosell Pérez (Barcelona, 1977) is a ceramic artist with more than twenty years of professional experience. He lives and works in Forallac, in the Baix Empordà region. He trained as a Higher Technician in Artistic Ceramics at the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny Llotja in Barcelona under the guidance of Teresa Gironès. He has consolidated his extensive knowledge of the craft through stays and residencies at leading institutions and centres such as the Sargadelos factory, the Ramon Fort Workshop-School and the Escola de Ceràmica de la Bisbal.

His artistic practice is built around a constant exploration of matter and ceramic processes. Through rigorous research into the physical, visual and expressive properties of clays and minerals, Rosell enables materials to express themselves in their own voice through the action of temperature. Individual exhibition projects such as Espècies Minerals reflect this ongoing search for a dialogue with nature and material microstructure. His work has received recognition in national competitions.

From his studio in Vulpellac, he co-founded Estudi Ceràmic [ba_Ro] in 2011, where research organically coexists with the production of tableware and functional pieces. He currently combines his own artistic practice and serial production with teaching —conducting specialised courses on expanding clays and experimental kilns at schools throughout Spain— as well as with technical and artistic collaborations with renowned creators such as Santi Moix, Franc Aleu, Javier Balmaseda and Teresa Solar. David Rosell is an active member of the Associació de Ceramistes de Catalunya and the Associació de Ceramistes de la Bisbal.
