Elena Larriba Andaluz is a Spanish-born artist and designer based in Naarm/Melbourne. Trained in architecture and industrial design, she spent over a decade shaping large-scale public projects before turning her focus to the intimacy of hand-crafted work.
Her practice explores touch, repair, and transformation, drawing on Spanish craft traditions, architectural forms, and the layered textures of the everyday. Through sculptural ceramics, site-specific installations, and works on paper, Elena invites audiences to slow down, notice details, and connect through the senses.
Working across independent projects, public art, and collaborations, she approaches each work with curiosity, tactility, and a belief in the quiet power of objects to hold memory and meaning.
