Viktória Szabó

My name is Viktória Szabó, a Hungarian artist and ceramist based in Galicia. Nature is a constant source of inspiration in my work. My creative process is constantly changing and evolving, whilst remaining true to the essence that defines me.

In 2017, I arrived in Finisterre as a pilgrim, having walked the Camino de Santiago along the Portuguese route from Lisbon. That journey marked a turning point in my life. I decided to stay, settle here and make my home at the end of the Camino.

I work mainly with white chamotte clay and use the raku technique, a process in which fire and smoke play an active part in the creative process, leaving their mark on each piece. Every piece is unique, the result of transformation, experimentation and a dialogue with the materials.

My work focuses on creating unique pieces. I produce artist-made ceramics that combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

My vision is to create works that convey emotion, presence and connection, and which, in some way, accompany those who engage with them.
