Dame au Corset is made from stoneware, a ceramic material that is fired at extremely high temperatures. Onto this are added layers of glaze and slip – a thin, pigmented clay slurry that ceramicists use to apply decorations.
Jan van Eyck is a constant source of inspiration for Bela Silva. For example, this work is influenced by his rendering of damask fabric with leaf motifs.
