João C. Gomes

João C. Gomes, a ceramic artist whose work reflects a deep connection with nature and the earth, was born in Sintra—a region rich in breathtaking landscapes and cultural heritage. He discovered in ceramics a way to express his vision of the world.

Since 1996, he has maintained his ceramic sculpture studio in Sintra, where he transforms clay into visual narratives that explore the relationship between humanity and the environment.

For the artist, ceramics is more than just an art form; it is an alchemy that unveils the essence of the Earth. He believes that everything originates from the earth and that each piece he creates is a manifestation of this intrinsic connection.

Through his work, he invites the viewer to see the landscape in new ways, encouraging reflection on our history and the importance of preserving nature.

His pieces are part of various private and institutional collections in Portugal and abroad, perpetuating his narrative that unites past and present, nature and creation, in a celebration of life and culture.
