Santiago de Borja Vase: when the art of Shirley Villavicencio Pizango meets designA dazzlingly successful Belgian-Peruvian painter, Shirley Villavicencio Pizango is now renowned for her expressive, colorful Cloths exhibited in Europe's finest galleries. Revealed by Gallery Sofie Van de Velde in Antwerp, she embodies a new generation of female artists whose freedom of tone and sincerity overturn codes. Her universe celebrates spontaneity, the warmth of gesture and the vital energy of color: values she transposes here in the Santiago de Borja collection for Serax, a tribute to her dual culture and the lush nature of her origins. A pictorial, free and vibrant designShaped in enameled sandstone, then hand-painted, the Vase reveals naïve yet powerful motifs: stylized foliage, faces, totemic symbols. The bold hues - Forest green, Cobalt blue, Terracotta - reflect the light and convey an almost primitive intensity. Each piece expresses the fusion of art and craftsmanship. A work of art for everyday lifeSculptural and expressive, the Santiago de Borja Vase turns Decoration into an artistic experience. Alone or in combination with other models, it infuses emotion, warmth and uniqueness. In a contemporary, bohemian or eclectic interior, this hand-painted creation asserts a bold, sunny style. A veritable manifesto of living art, the Santiago de Borja Vase brings Shirley Villavicencio Pizango 's poetry into the home.

I love this colourful vase for its playful yet sophisticated design. Its large size makes it a statement piece, perfect for adding visual interest to a neutral or minimalist interior. The multicoloured glaze can complement eclectic, boho, or modern schemes, bringing a touch of vibrancy without overpowering the space. Practical styling tips include pairing it with tall, slender stems or dried botanicals to emphasise its height, or positioning it on a sideboard or console as a standalone art object. Its bold face motif also invites creative mixing with other quirky ceramics or artworks for a personalised, curated look.
