ARTISTS STATEMENT
Nazaré Feliciano was born in a small town in Portugal. She studied art in the United Estates and established herself as a fine artist with numerous awards and solo exhibitions.
Having grown up surrounded by beautifully painted terracotta tiles, known as “Azulejos” in Portugal, Nazaré creates art works using terracotta and porcelain. Her most intricate pieces are her series of porcelain panels that are flexible and can be handled similarly to a blanket, made of pieces of hollow clay, strung together with steel metal, to create a flexible ceramic form. These quilt-like panels show images and text with a sepia tone coloration. She explains: “Usually I work in series. Some of my art work may be quite different from a previous work. However, one of the consistencies in my pieces is that they are a sum of parts, many pieces creating a whole. I create these pieces aiming to achieve a sensory response: cold, warm, soft, rough, beyond a visual and intellectual perception.”
Nazaré has a Master in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She earned a bachelor’s degree at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City, and a BFA from Florida Atlantic University. She completed her Ph.D. in Comparative Studies of Fine and Performing Arts, at FAU, on May 2014. She is a professor of art at Palm Beach State College.
Nazare’s art work has been published in “Contemporary Ceramics” a book by Susan Peterson, “Ceramic Tile Art” a book by Deborah Goletz, and, in the International Ceramic magazine: Ceramic Art and Perception, Ceramics Monthly, and The Arts of the Times, an art and culture magazine. Her artworks are in museums and private collections.
