Inspiration: These unique glazed terracotta dishes are a testament to the encounter between Portuguese craftsmanship and personal artistic expression. Created in Olhão, a maritime city in the Algarve, they are the result of a creative collaboration with the potter Francesco Eugenio. Sylvie Peyneau, a French artist, develops a singular graphic language: a deep black, placed on a light enamel, gives life to an invented bestiary, stylized plants and marine forms. Each piece is decorated freehand, revealing a spontaneous line, punctuated by frieze patterns on the borders. The marine themes — birds, exotic flowers, octopus — evoke the environment of Olhão: the Ria Formosa lagoon, fishing, Mediterranean gardens.
Signed and dated, these dishes become as much works of art as witnesses of a moment of creation shared in a workshop in the south of Portugal.

Sylvie Peyneau
France
Sylvie Peyneau, is a female painter who lives and works in Bordeaux. In contact with nature from an early age, in a village between Bordeaux and the sea, she knew how to probe the soul of what surrounds her, to approach them as closely as possible to better reveal their vitality, to move away enough to paint their singularity, their poetry. It is with this just distance, through a subtle balance between figuration and abstraction, that she infuses her painting with the enthusiasm, energy and freedom that make them so powerful.
