Natalia Laluque's  ceramic collection Trypillia is inspired by the artistry of the ancient Trypillian culture which flourished over 7,000 years ago in Ukraine. The term Trypillian takes its name from the Neolithic people who lived in the area of Ukraine from 5,000 to 2,500 B.C.
The powerful Trypillian design was of three colors: usually white and black against a red
clay background. To the Trypillians, the pattern of spiraling and whirling meander,
signified eternity and the cycle of life. 

Pottery made from red clay, white clay, their mixture and colored with red, white and
black “terra sigilatta” slips then burnished. The artist tried to come as close as possible in technique producing this pots and recreate the process when burnishing and coloring with slips was the only way of finishing\ hardening the pottery.
