Quevara — 'Eat My Heart X' Ceramic Wall Vase, 2026

'Eat My Heart' is a collection of sculptural ceramic wall vases inspired by the heart's shape. Handmade and subtly theatrical, each piece sits between a functional vessel and a contemporary sculpture. Designed to hold flowers while becoming an object of conversation, the collection explores love, desire, connection and the rituals of the home.

Quevara by Ara Dolatian is a Melbourne-based design studio bringing together myth, architecture, and the visual languages of East and West to create tactile, sculptural, functional, and wearable objects. Bold colours, curious forms, and rich materials come together in works that celebrate the joy of making and the poetry of use. Proudly handmade in Melbourne, Quevara thrives on experimentation, where each object is a playful invitation to rethink how beauty, meaning, and function can live side by side. Bridging the conceptual with the material, Quevara crafts pieces that speak to imagination, touch, and everyday wonder.

Ara exhibited his work at both national and international exhibitions. His body of work has been supported by organizations such as the Australia Council for the Arts, Creative Victoria, and the City of Melbourne. Ara is represented by THIS IS NO FANTASY Gallery.
