About the Item

Cubist cat figurine by Alfonso Otero Regal of Regal Cerámica in Viveiro, Galicia. The stylized feline form, with its angular silhouette and hand-painted decoration in an earthy brown and dark navy, reflects a distinctly Picasso-esque Cubist vocabulary. Sgraffito-engraved patterns cut through the painted surface, introducing bold graphic contrast and depth. Created at Regal Cerámica, the piece exemplifies Otero Regal’s fusion of 20th-century modernist abstraction with Galician ceramic craft. Alfonso Otero Regal (b. 1952) is a Galician artist and ceramicist who trained as both painter and sculptor before founding Regal Cerámica in 1982. From his workshop in Viveiro, he has produced ceramics that fuse contemporary art language with regional craft traditions. His works range from architectural-scale commissions to intimate decorative objects, always distinguished by expressive linework, Cubist influence, and meticulous surface treatment. This cat figurine exemplifies his approach: decorative yet sculptural, modern yet rooted in handcraft. In excellent condition, it offers a compelling accent for interiors that value both wit and design history. A perfect choice for cat lovers, as well as collectors of Spanish studio ceramics and admirers of modernist, Picasso-inspired design.
