[email protected] I am a visual artist. My ceramic sculptures depict animals in a colorful world of flowers, abundance and decay, exploring their role within human culture. During my studies, I fell in love with ceramics — completely captivated by its beauty and limitless possibilities. The feeling of clay in my hands, the material’s endless potential, and the continuous process of learning and discovery continue to inspire me. Since then, ceramics has become my primary medium, which I approach in a free, intuitive way, following my curiosity. Curriculum Vitae
