Selección de muestras, ferias y ediciones recientes que articulan mi práctica entre ilustración, cerámica y libro de artista.

A sophisticated studio corner presenting Maria Granada’s illustration practice: several framed line-and-wash artworks with botanical and architectural motifs lean against a white wall on a low wooden bench. On the bench sit elegant drawing tools, ink bottles, and a fine ceramic cup holding brushes. Through a nearby window, a soft, out-of-focus glimpse of Madrid’s historic buildings appears. Late afternoon, golden-hour light spills in, creating warm reflections on the glass frames and soft shadows on the floor. Photographic realism, composed with asymmetrical balance and a moderate depth of field that keeps the artworks sharp while subtly blurring the studio edges, evoking a quiet, contemplative, and highly refined creative space suitable for a visual portfolio.

Textos

A carefully arranged tabletop composition showcasing Maria Granada’s multidisciplinary work: a delicate ink illustration on textured ivory paper, a small hand-built ceramic vessel with a satin white glaze and subtle speckles, and an artist book partially open to reveal layered, hand-printed pages. All pieces rest on a smooth light-wood desk in a quiet Madrid studio, near a large window overlooking soft, blurred city rooftops. Late afternoon natural light creates gentle highlights on the ceramics and soft shadows under the papers. Photographic realism, eye-level angle, with shallow depth of field so the artworks are in crisp focus while the urban background is softly out of focus, conveying a sophisticated, calm, contemporary atmosphere suitable for a portfolio homepage.
A close-up, photographic image of a refined ceramic piece by Maria Granada: a tall, slender stoneware vase with a matte, off-white glaze and subtle hand-carved linear patterns circling its surface. The vase sits on a minimalist concrete plinth against a softly textured, warm-gray wall. Diffused gallery-style lighting from above and slightly to the side brings out the surface relief, creating delicate shadows within the carved grooves. Shot at eye level with a centered, balanced composition and generous negative space around the vase, the mood is sophisticated, serene, and contemplative, emphasizing craftsmanship and materiality. A small, blurred wall card in the background hints at an exhibition setting in Madrid, Spain, without displaying readable text.
A carefully curated exhibition-style shelf dedicated to Maria Granada’s artist books and ceramics: staggered white shelves hold a series of small, uniquely shaped cups, bowls, and sculptural vessels in white, sand, and muted blue glazes, interspersed with upright and open artist books revealing intricate spreads of illustration and photo-based collage. The shelf is mounted on a pale, plaster wall in a contemporary Madrid loft. Soft, even gallery lighting bathes the objects, adding subtle highlights to the glazes and depth to the printed pages. Photographic realism, shot from a straight-on, eye-level perspective with sharp focus throughout the frame, creating a clean, sophisticated, editorial mood that quietly suggests contact and professional presentation without showing any explicit text or graphic icons.
