Roxanna Jordán

Born in the Santurce neighborhood of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Roxana Jordán is a ceramic artist currently living and working in Loíza, Puerto Rico. She pursued her studies at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico and received her foundational training in ceramics at Casa Candina, where she later taught from 1988 to 1991. Jordán further developed her practice in sculptural ceramics under the mentorship of renowned Austrian sculptor Gerga Gruber at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño in San Juan.

Jordán worked as a teacher in the “Art workshops in the communities” project of the municipality of San Juan. She then became a professor of sculptural ceramics at La Liga de Arte, Old San Juan from 1992 to 2005. She has exhibited in the V Biennial of Havana Cuba at the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, 1992, and recently in exhibitions in galleries such as Galería Botello in San Juan, Pamil Fine Arts in Guaynabo P. R., Sidhia Hutchinson Gallery in Vieques P.R. and Puerto Rico Arts & Craft in San Juan, P.R. Jordán’s work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Santurce, and the Casa Candina collection in Puerto Rico. Known for her work with the Japanese Raku technique, she combines traditional firing methods with a contemporary artistic vision. Her works reflect a deep respect for ceramic traditions while exploring form and texture in innovative ways.
