Magnesita

Valencia, SPAIN

“Her productions try to approach art to the point of wanting to touch it, evoking and creating sensations to sight and touch.”

Agnes Ansio studied Psychology in her hometown, where she currently lives. After graduating, she is aware that what gives her energy, is art and makes continuous searches to find what satiates her creative appetite, being this, Art Therapy.
After this experience, she decides to dive deep into the depths of her entrails, finding acrylics, textures and clay. Two years ago she decided to study artistic ceramics and found it to be her safe space where she could continue giving form to ideas and building with clay.

Agnes Ansio is the founder of Magnesita and the designer and producer behind her pieces. She works in a multidisciplinary way with different materials and plays at finding textures and experimenting with them.

The artist proposes a journey through the exploration of the psyche, food, intimacy. The primordial relationship between these elements, individuals and the world underlies the aesthetic and conceptual creation of her productions. She starts from the creation of reliefs from different materials such as modeling paste or clay, forms that come out of the dream-wakefulness states, ideas that resonate with her or thoughts related to the human being, psychology and society.

Her work is related to the origin, to put the focus where we do not usually stop, from an intimate sense and inviting to investigate one's own senses.
