Ruda Studio In The Studio
The most difficult challenge is to start working in historically forgotten technology or creating new materials. You have to go blindly, by touch, experimenting with new techniques and materials. Usually, this search requires a lot of patience and time. Well, teamwork. Going by feel alone is longer and harder when there is a team of like-minded people - everything can be handled.
What inspires you?
The created items are inspired by natural materials and ancient craft techniques. Each product has its own function, but more closely resembles an object of art that touches the soul and encourages reflection and rethinking of our cultural heritage.
Describe your creative process.
My creative process starts with formulating an idea. I Art is always a dialogue between the creator and the viewer, and it is important to initially formulate your message. When an idea is formulated (its importance, its impact, what it will improve, or why this particular idea is important now), it is rooted in my head. This is not an obsession, but more like background music. It does not interfere with my daily activities, but at the same time you sharpen your attention and think about how something can be applied to this new idea.
