Sal Nevarez Art

This is so gorgeous and powerful. I love it.

I never said I was inspired by Picasso, nor was I trying to mimic his work. There are other cubist artists and I was inspired by a large variety of art pieces. My intention was to create an abstract and colorful take on a classic jack-o-lantern face that would involve painting and carving.

I used a rainbow LED light with rotating colors. There were cutouts in the design so that the light could pop thru. You can see in this pic where the dark blue sections were the cutout windows.

Pumpcasso! I was inspired by Cubism art for this year's pumpkin carving. Was going for abstract faces.

Ceramic mug of black and blue colors.

This was the mug I made for the 2025 Blindfold Pottery Challenge. Currently up for auction for the Fun Eye Fund to raise awareness for those who are visually disabled. All proceeds will go to help people in need of prosthetic eyes. Auction is live!

Ceramic vase

Tried out a new pulling technique in my pottery wheel. Used both hands outside the pot to pull the clay up. It works! Black porcelain with a matcha matte shino glaze.

That's beautiful

I love those special single drips.

Ceramic vase on a wood table in front of a black background.

Disease. Illness. Attacks on the body at the microspoic level. Recent hospital trauma has left its mark on my psyche. In this piece, I tried to capture that moment of infection. The texture was made with real teeth. Imagine being devoured.

My favorite bookshop. They have the best selection of indie scifi books with staff reviews.

Ceramic vase with texture

Decided to try out carving a ceramic piece straight from a fresh block of clay. No wheelthrowing, no handbuilding, no coiling. Just carving. It was exhilarating.

I have a few good ones. This one is my favorite tho.

I love the contrast in the glazing. Very nice.

Mixed media sculpture of a painted skull with a flower growing out from the crown

My Dia de los Muertos sculpture. Mixed media. The skull is made from wild ceramic clay harvested from my backyard fired to Cone 06. Painted designs made with acryllics. The flower is poly clay. The stem and leaves are copper wire.

Picture of my family carrying fishing gear walking on a dirt road next to a lake at sunrise

Lots of #gratitude for the fish restock at our favorite spot. Nothing beats watching the sunrise with your family on the lake while catching your dinner.

Working on some home decor. Yes, that's a real deer skull being used as a planter.

What clay is that? I love the chunky speckles.

Beautiful!

Wow the detail in the glaze for the flowers is stunning. Very nice! 👏🏽

I love the mug on the left. The shape is more organic.

Been working on some different looks and textures. I'm not entirely in love with this shape. Might reclaim and try something else.

Lol. We get our artistic skills from Grandma. The real OG. 😅

Chaos glazing? Let my 5yo show you how it's done. 😉 I let my kiddo go wild all over this drafonfruit vase I made. He picked the colors and the types of glazes. Even picked the brushes to use. I just cleaned up the mess 😅
