Andreia Pinho

With a Master's in Fine Arts from ESAD.CR and training at CENCAL's ceramics lab, Andreia Pinho set up her workshop in Leiria, a ceramics capital, in 2021. There, she took refuge from humankind to explore its strangest and most grotesque side through wild clay.

Wild clay means that Andreia doesn't just buy the material or order it online: she harvests it herself, by hand, like a hidden treasure, across the seven corners of Portugal, venturing into secret spots we never dreamed existed.

Andreia's work emerges from a lifelong fascination with Portuguese folklore, Iberian mythology, and cult cinema. Drawing inspiration from Lusitanian gods, legendary creatures, David Lynch, or Jodorowsky, she reinvents deeply symbolic imagery as emotion made by hand, in clay.

Her multidisciplinary practice spans ceramics, drawing, and sculpture, with works exhibited in private collections and across the country.
