The Parisian artist creates plates and tile collections with bright frivolous drawings.

The artist and ceramist Carla Sutra was born in Catalonia and has always been inspired by the rich colors of Mediterranean nature and the heritage of famous modernist artists. In her sensual drawings with laconic but expressive silhouettes and deep colors, the influence of Picasso and Miro can be traced. 

The main theme of the Sutra’s creativity is the relationship between people. Nude figures in her works are depicted schematically, but charged with eroticism and epicurean joy. The artist playfully complements sketches with intertwined bodies with naive images of flowers, fruits and vegetables that resemble multicolored Provencal ceramics. 

Sutra’s favorite material is ceramics, from which she makes painted dishes and decorative tiles based on Portuguese azuleju tiles. Many collections were created by the artist specifically for specific interior projects. So, for the Paris bistro Caché, she developed a series of monochrome dishes, designed tables for the Beaune Hotel, and made not only plates, but also spectacular tile panels for the new Choco restaurant.
