I’ve been creating art ceramics and pottery full time since 1989 when I enrolled at the art college. I graduated with a ‘distinction’ mark, however it took me at least 15 years of perfecting the best examples known to me, before I realized that – no matter how old Mother Earth is – it is still possible to invent and create truly new things, unseen and unheared of before.
I’ve always been a great believer in pure art form without a story, which is just like music that does not require understanding of the lyrics to appreciate it. Therefore I cherish pure aesthetics of form, expressed in clean but complex geometric lines and proportions of golden ratio. Equally I’m interested in distinct shapes that reflect the impact of natural forces in life, which ultimately urged me to seek ways of escaping the constraints of the symmetric wheel-thrown form.
I pursue well defined vessel shapes with tense potent curves that draw principally different silhouettes on the opposite sides of the piece, emphasised by strong diagonals and distinct colour solutions.
Presented collection of artworks renders well recognisable vessels with an intension to convey the sheer impression of energetic and graceful moves performed by dancers, swans, cockerels, peacocks or live chess figures. The pieces can be viewed separately as well as in a number of combinations, showing respectively different visual interaction.
