Paco Sánchez Sánchez

Originally from the town of Ingenio in Gran Canaria, Paco Sánchez is a prominent contemporary artist in the Canary Islands. He works with stoneware clay, firing it at high temperatures. Stoneware is known for its strength, durability, and rougher finish. The color can vary depending on the minerals present in the clay. Sánchez also researches and works with other materials such as porcelain, and applies enamel paint to his creations for the final touches. Some of his contemporary installations, sculptures, and ceramics can be found in various public spaces throughout several municipalities on the island.
