Born: 1991
Hometown: Krasnodar
Based in: Lisbon, Portugal
Anna Demidova is a Lisbon-based Russian ceramics artist and interior designer. She was born and grew up in the south of Russia, Krasnodar city. Since childhood she has been obsessed with art, design and fashion. It inspires her to create something new.
3 years ago she opened for herself ceramic world and since then it’s her passion. She has been taking ceramic classes during one month in a local studio in a hometown. And so has begun her ceramic journey. Clay makes her happy. Ceramics give her an opportunity to work with a shape in a free environment. The shape is a key. That’s why mostly she doesn’t use a glaze. Through a free clay body she can pass on her knowledge and feelings. In many cases she is using the clay intuitively. She keeps a concept in her mind and then improvise. The clay is such a good material that connects hands and an imagination. One year ago Anna moved to Lisbon, Portugal to get a new life and art experience. During last summer she understood that her path and ceramics can’t be separate. In Portugal she tried first time porcelain and it’s a very deep relationship. At the end of 2020 she participated in the exhibitions in Paris and Lisbon.

Describe your creative process.
Clay makes her happy. In many cases I am using the clay intuitively. I keep a concept in my mind and then improvise. The clay is such a good material that connects hands and an imagination. I prefer abstract shapes, soft lines, coarse textures and a moderate color palette. I work just with manual techniques and every time it’s a surprise what I will get at the end. It’s the most excited moment. I am not focusing on functionality, but interested in making table lamps and vases.
