About
Victoria Loyola’s work is a vibrant fusion of ceramics and contemporary design, celebrating her Costa Rican heritage through bold, handcrafted creations.
For London Craft Week, she presents a collection of sculptural lamps and functional ware inspired by the rich textures, colours, and landscapes of Latin America. Each piece is a testament to the artist’s passion for storytelling, where tradition and modernity intersect to create art that resonates with warmth and identity.
The collection draws on Costa Rica’s breathtaking landscapes – its lush rainforests, dramatic volcanoes, and serene coastlines – to inform the shapes, patterns, and colours in her work. By blending the tactile strength of ceramics with organic forms and vibrant hues, Victoria brings the essence of her homeland into each creation.
Her sculptural lamps, with their bold silhouettes and striking palettes, evoke the interplay between light and shadow, transforming interiors into spaces rich with meaning. Meanwhile, her functional ware invites a connection to daily rituals, turning ordinary moments into something extraordinary.
Through her art, Victoria explores themes of memory, tradition, and belonging, making her work deeply personal yet universally evocative. Her mastery of traditional techniques, paired with a contemporary aesthetic, bridges the past and present, offering a fresh perspective on Latin American craftsmanship.
Victoria Loyola’s collection at London Craft Week is more than a showcase of ceramics; it is an invitation to experience cultural storytelling through design. Each piece speaks to the power of art to preserve and reinterpret traditions, creating connections between the artist, the audience, and the spaces they inhabit.
Victoria’s work celebrates the enduring beauty of handmade objects and their ability to transform environments with meaning and emotion, making this collection a highlight of the event.
