GARPOT - Barcelona Bestiari
The GARPOT Barcelona Bestiari collection brings together ceramics and illustration through a series of unique pieces where form becomes a space for narrative. Drawing from everyday scenes, local symbols and imagined characters, the collection transforms the vessel into a medium for storytelling.
Through expressive lines and hand-painted compositions, each work unfolds fragments of an urban mythology shaped by humour, observation and memory. Familiar elements of Barcelona appear throughout the collection, reinterpreted through a visual language that moves freely between reality and fiction.
Anthropomorphic creatures inhabit landscapes inspired by the city, from Mediterranean coastlines and palm trees to architectural landmarks and overlooked corners. These references are not presented as literal depictions, but as part of a personal and evolving imaginary.
The collection emerges from a dialogue between volume and line, where ceramics provide the structure and illustration introduces rhythm, character and narrative. Each piece exists as a singular object, balancing sculptural presence with the intimacy of a drawn story.
{ Stoneware, underglaze painting, transparent glaze, gold }
The pieces undergo a double firing process, reaching temperatures of up to 1260°C.

GAR POTGARPOT emerges through a creative dialogue with illustrator Oscar Sarramia. In this new body of work, the vessel relinquishes not only its function but also its visual tridimensionality. Flattened into a ceramic silhouette, it becomes a sculptural canvas, giving rise to a new category of object — neither vase nor painting, but a hybrid form that exists between sculpture, illustration, and narrative.
