Vaas Sapote L mix Santiago De Borja

The Belgian-Peruvian painter Shirley Villavicencio Pizango is conquering the art world with her playful, vibrant, and colorful portraits. Shirley is part of a new wave of female painters rapidly gaining popularity and is represented by Gallery Sofie Van de Velde in Antwerp. The gallery is known for its entrepreneurial spirit and international network, guiding artists in their creative development.
Shirley’s success is closely tied to her distinctively contemporary and personal style. She primarily paints portraits of family, friends, and acquaintances in a raw and colorful manner. Perspective is thrown out the window, black contour lines are boldly applied, and the modern color palette consists of large, rough surfaces. Through this, Shirley perfectly captures the spirit of the times. In an age of hyper-technology and AI, people crave purity, naturalness, and humanity.
Now, this young talent, together with Serax, presents a unique collection of hand-painted ceramics that brings the pottery from her paintings to life: Santiago de Borja.
