Marina Caspe (b. 2001, Nantucket, USA) specializes in crafting surreal figurative ceramic sculptures that explore a visual manifestation of ideas and experiences that captivate her. Through her work, she invites the viewer to investigate these ideas by creating relatable poses and forms to facilitate deeper engagement. Using a coil-building method she creates figures that take on a being of their own, each developing a unique persona and fostering an empathetic connection. Each work sources itself as a storytelling piece with the unique ability to create new conversations as well as remind the viewer of the past. Marina’s stories are ones collected through her unique experiences and observations of life, these stories are meant to be a collection of existence to remind us of the beauty within. Throughout Marina’s work, she aims to challenge one’s initial perceptions and provoke a deeper understanding of reality.
The Bowl that Keeps on Giving is a nonprofit organization prototype created by Marina that unites and connects its mission of ending the starvation crisis in Africa to sharing the beauty of art. This organization is comprised of a curated collection of artists and their beautiful art from across the country which you purchase to contribute to this noble cause.
