Keramiek Annette van den Bergh

'Ceramics in love'

This work by Annette received an honorable mention at the international exhibition/competition “Ceramics in Love” in Castellamonte, Italy. The exhibition of contemporary ceramics, featuring 136 artists from 22 countries, will run from August 22 through September 13, 2026.

The translation of the text:
“Annette van den Bergh’s work is distinguished by her ability to evoke an inner landscape through highly poetic ceramic forms. ‘Iceland Blues’ evokes images that hover between desert dunes and the horizon of the sea, where delicate variations in color create a harmonious dialogue between sky and earth. The surface of the work seems to blur the boundaries of matter, transforming the vase into an almost immaterial presence that suggests silence, depth, and infinity. The refined exploration of tone and the compositional balance lend the object a contemplative dimension, where form and color merge into an evocative and intense visual experience.”

Objects of porcelain

In recent years I have been captivated by porcelain clay and the special properties and possibilities this material offers. Turning clay into a shape is always an interplay between movement and stillness. During the turning process I first look for the point of the immobile center and from there create the shape. This results in refined and minimalist shapes and objects.
