About the Item
A poetic ceramic horse sculpture by Víctor Ceprián Cortés, created in Spain in the 1980s and signed V.C. Cortés under the glaze. This expressive piece is accompanied by its original printed booklet “Caballos”, documenting the artist’s work and exhibitions.
Handcrafted in stoneware with a textured, earthy surface, the sculpture captures the quiet nobility of the horse through minimalist form and subtle gesture. The material is left mostly unglazed, with delicate touches of warm pink and ochre tones enhancing the natural feel of the clay. The stylized anatomy—elongated legs, arched neck, and simplified head—reveals a sensitivity that merges primitivist inspiration with modern sculptural clarity.
Víctor Ceprián Cortés, based in Aldeaquemada (Jaén), is known for his refined ceramic works exploring animal forms and organic structures. His pieces are represented in major Spanish and Italian collections, including the Museo de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Madrid), Museo Zabaleta (Jaén), and the Museo MAiL ART (Tarragona).
This example is in very good vintage condition, with minor patina consistent with age and the artist’s hand-built process.
