Tableware Artist Andrea Zarraluqui Reflects on Her Childhood in Spain for VERANDA’s Latest Artist Collaboration
"Patterns in seashells have always been some of my favorites,” says Madrid-based artist Andrea Zarraluqui, whose delicately exuberant designs often capture the nuances of sea life, from schools of fish to branching corals.
Here, grayscale depictions of scallops, scotch bonnets, and striped bonnets bring the shells’ innate curves, angles, and shades into sharp relief. And for Zarraluqui, who grew up near the Andalusian coast, it’s tenderly autobiographical. “In my childhood, everything related to the sea,” she says. “It brings sweet memories to me.”
