Ceramic painting, 34 x 101 cm

Since 2005 I have been working in ceramic techniques and have specialized training in this field. Implementation of projects in a noble and durable material such as ceramics gives me almost unlimited possibilities of shaping the form and color and thus creating original ideas based on my own artistic language, workshop and technology. In my artistic work, I mainly focus on creating ceramic paintings in the form of mosaics. The key stimulus of my work is the observation of nature in its pure form undisturbed by human activity and admiration of its complexity, and the relationships within it. The narrative, sometimes illustrative nature of the representations reflects my interest in legends, fairy tales and legends, both native and those from the farthest corners of the world.
