Symphony - diptych

Cecília de Sousa has been a ceramist since the mid-1950s, and has in-depth knowledge of the process of ceramics technology. She participates regularly in national and international exhibitions and biennials which has given her the opportunity to come into contact with other experiences and ways of working with ceramics. In this Symphony, a diptych, part of a series inspired on the ceramic industrial equipment with which she worked at Fábrica Viúva Lamego, Cecília de Sousa took advantage of the plastic potentialities of ceramics through the judicious use of oxides and pigments. The elements, discreetly aligned in four squares above a bar, which appear to give some type of order to the left half of the diptych, seem to dematerialise as they transfer to the right half, where they are harmoniously placed through a series of quick, parallel lines.
