Julia Isídrez

Julia Isídrez is a Paraguayan ceramist.

Life

Isídrez was born on February 16, 1967, in Itá in the Central Department, a city that is also nicknamed the Capital of Ceramics.[1][2][3]

Isídrez originates from a family of ceramists, and was educated in this profession by her mother Juana Marta Rodas, who had learned it from her mother and grandmother. Ceramic art in Paraguay is principally practiced by women and comes forth from the pre-colonial pottery tradition. During several decades she worked closely with her mother, with whom she exhibited in her own country and abroad. They received many international awards.[1]

Isídrez' work should be classified as modern art, and is characterized by traditional pottery of the countryside with exotic Jesuit and contemporary techniques.[1][4]

Around 2010, she separated from her mother in a professional sense. In that particular year she held the exposition Paraguay Esquivo in Paris with Ediltrudis Noguera.[5][6][7]
