El Renacimiento

The wood used for this amphora came from a tree that was around 500 years old. The title of the piece, Renaissance, pays tribute to this material, which was intended to be used as firewood. The age and deteriorated state of the wood made it extremely fragile to work with, so Santiago had to proceed very carefully on the lathe in order to keep it intact. He finds inspiration for the final form of his pieces while turning the wood and discovering its hidden characteristics.
