The sculptures are made of glazed stoneware clay where the glaze is brushed before the second firing to bring out the ceramic color tone and the feel of the material.
The works are inspired by human life, dance and song where body movement and facial expressions create the character.
In her sculptures, she plays with humor and presence that puts the viewer in a good mood. Her ceramic figures and her colorful watercolors reflect playfulness and temperament.
Graciela has her own way of expressing herself in an artistic landscape where each creation becomes unique.
