In the creating of “Raw” series of pieces I was more interested in sculptural aspects than a functional part. The shape is a key. That’s why I have excluded a colorful glaze here and tried to highlight the natural texture of the material. I was curious to combine a few types of clay. Coarse, grey stoneware and ultramarine porcelain perfectly demonstrate one of the main tasks in the creating of my pieces. It shows a contrast between shape, colour and material. I have applied just a hand-built technique, it has allowed me to improvise.
Each piece is intended as a sculpture object where the border between art, craftsmanship and design disappears. I was inspired by human beings and living creatures. That why artworks “Raw” arouse associations with bionic shapes, knuckles, parts of the body and living tissue. Lack of surfaces perfection indicates our real-life and fragility.

Microcracks and an imperfect texture are allowed on each product because it is handmade. The screen can demonstrate the wrong colour, please look at photos on a few devices.
