Ceramics gives me the possibility to create objects with all advantages of sculpture, painting, graphics and even chemistry simultaneously. It’s a unique expression medium based on experiment.
During my studies in the Ceramics School I learned different techniques of ceramics including majolica, faience, porcelain, glazed tiles and landscape sculpture. Then I made a decision to work on the vessel. Its function is still present but doesn’t play solo.
I make my ceramic objects as prototypes of borders between spaces, continuous or see-through. They relate and populate space by themselves. I model most of my pieces from chamotte slabs, I haven’t used lately the wheel in my work. I decorate them colorfully with patterns, textures and stamps using a lot of glazes, enamels, oxides, angobs and pigments. I like to make the painting on clay surface.
I consider the symbolic meaning of my objects important. Often these are traces of the past, the past, and sometimes signs of nature.
