This superb and rare pair of modernist ceramic vases is a testament to the exceptional talent of Marius Fernandez, born in 1959. His work, imbued with a unique sensibility, reflects both the traditional heritage of ceramics and a resolutely contemporary approach. Fernandez distinguished himself with his bold and elegant creations, often characterized by pure forms and a refined use of materials. This pair of vases, with their clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, is fully in line with this modernist vision, capturing the very essence of his work. The pieces presented here evoke a harmonious balance between functionality and art. Fernandez's modernist ceramics are part of a long tradition of craftsmanship, while integrating an avant-garde aesthetic research, which gives his works a singular place in the history of contemporary art. The subtle texture of the vases' surface, the play of nuances in the enamels, and the fluid forms are evidence of the artist's technical mastery and his commitment to pushing the limits of his medium. Marius Fernandez's artistic career has been punctuated by numerous prestigious exhibitions, in France and internationally, confirming his reputation in the world of ceramics. The year 1997 marked a turning point in his career with his participation in the Faenza Biennale in Italy, a major event dedicated to ceramic art that brings together the greatest names in the discipline. This international recognition is the result of rigorous work and a constant exploration of the possibilities offered by terracotta. In 1996, he exhibited at the Galerie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, a venue renowned for its spotlighting of avant-garde artists and exceptional creations. Fernandez's participation in this space confirms his status as an innovative artist, capable of engaging with an informed public while offering a unique vision of contemporary ceramics. Two years earlier, in 1994, he had already taken part in the Biennale de la Céramique in Vallauris, another prestigious platform where he was able to exhibit his works alongside other great creators. The 1990s truly marked the emergence of Marius Fernandez on the art scene, with several exhibitions in emblematic places in Paris. In 1993, he participated in the Cours St Pierre, a series of open-air artistic events that attracted the attention of critics and the public. In 1990, he multiplied his appearances, with exhibitions at the Maison du Canada in Paris, at the Couvent des Cordeliers for the event "Les arts du feu", and at the Galerie de la Grande Masse des Beaux-Arts. The same year, he was also invited to the Espace Carole Fonteneau and the legendary Café Le Procope, important places for the dissemination of contemporary art in Paris. It was in 1985, at the Café Le Procope, that Marius Fernandez presented his creations to the general public for the first time.
