Inspired by the interplay of diverse cultures and study of world religions, De Larios’s art speaks a universal language that reflects her unique pan-cultural vision. Whether in intimate ceramic pieces or large mixed-media architectural commissions, De Larios strives to harmonize the animal and the spiritual, the earthly with the divine. De Larios’s ability to translate universal human experiences into mystical works of art accounts for her international appeal. Her beautiful, whimsical sculptures are much collected. She shows a wonderful sense of humor, when you see her work, }ou cannot help but smile or laugh. Dora was commissioned to make a dinner set for the White House during the Carter administration by Rosalynn Carter for the Senate Wives Luncheon at the White House. The dinnerware set consisted of a dinner plate, a salad plate and a soup bowl.
