Original artwork description:

Obvara Vessels are a compelling exploration of texture and organic beauty, showcasing the ancient Obvara firing technique. The three vessels exude an earthy, raw quality, with their surfaces marked by unpredictable patterns created during the rapid cooling and flour mixture application.

The vessels maintain simple, elegant silhouettes that allow the Obvara patterns to take center stage. The burnt, speckled, and swirling effects evoke a sense of natural weathering, making each piece feel unique and alive. The use of Obvara highlights Lybaert’s appreciation for imperfection and spontaneity, reinforcing his connection to organic and time-worn aesthetics.

These vessels are striking in their balance of tradition and modern artistry, making them both visually captivating and deeply evocative.
