Description:

The Almerian born artist Antonio Flores has dedicated more than 30 years to the world of ceramics. From a very young age he felt a passion for this craft and decided to study Applied Arts and Artistic Professions with a specialty in Ceramic Art. Over the years of his career he has used his profession to work with the training of new artisans. He also gives classes to underprivileged groups using art as a method of social inclusion. He is at the forefront of creativity for his constant training and research of new technics, and for always keeping a close relationship between tradition and innovation. Some of his art includes ceramic reproductions of pieces from the Neolithic period as well as Hispanic-Muslim art that can be found in the Almería Archaeological Museum.

Today his work is centered around the creation of tableware designs, a work that has put him in contact with various restaurants around Spain.
