Liliana Silva (b.1981) has always loved the arts & design, drawing and painting.
But it was only later she realized that her professional path would involve pursuing a career in the family arts.
In Love With Forms of Expressions
Having been raised in a family associated with ceramics, with both her father and grandfather being potters, she grew up immersed in this world. This environment nurtured her passion for clay and allowed her to explore various forms of artistic expression.
Travel has always played a significant role in her life. During the five years she resided in London, she seized the opportunity to explore the city and visit numerous museums and art galleries, thereby quenching her thirst for creativity.
Upon realizing that this creative exploration was essential for her personal fulfillment, she made the decision to return home. After completing courses in Fashion Design and Footwear Design, she opted to alter her career trajectory.
Upon her return, she joined her father’s ceramics business. In this capacity, she was able to unleash her creativity and develop her own unique pieces.
In 2020, she took the initiative to establish her own brand, Terrakota. Although currently based in Esposende, its origins lie in Barcelos, which is famously known as the land of the rooster.
The Terrakota by Liliana Silva brand has gained international recognition across several countries through various stores and galleries due to its modern and contemporary design as well as its distinctive characteristics.
Terrakota products are available through its online store and select concept stores.
