Belgian-Peruvian artist Shirley Villavicencio Pizango, better known as Shurleey, is a rising star in the art world, with her vibrant portraits shown as far away as New York.
Serax brings her painterly universe to life in ceramic form. First came a series of vases; now there is a collection of ten plates, each featuring its own scene.
The illustrations of flowers, plants and fruit radiate the warmth and wildness of the tropics. It’s no surprise: Shurleey grew up in Santiago de Borja, a small village in Peru along a tributary of the Amazon River. With this hand-painted collection, Shurleey’s art becomes more accessible than ever.
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.
