“La Alberca de Niurka,” 2023. Ceramic.

Both sets have flower decorations after Niurka’s wall and floor home, supporting each goblet’s base you can see the hint of Niurka’s hand with long red nails 💅

The goblets were inspired by Cuban-born actress/singer/dancer, Niurka Marcos. She is always attracting attention from the media for her blunt statements. During the pandemic, Niurka hand- painted many areas of her house, including all the pool surrounding areas and her rooftop floors and walls.

There are some aspects of this that resonate with me personally. As immigrants living in New York, we work hard, and as women raising children, we are constantly questioned about our ability to succeed. We carry on doing our thing and develop a thicker skin as we go along @niurka.oficial
