Ceramic Sculptor Emil Yanos has been working with clay since 1993. Professionally trained in Floral and Graphic Design, his ceramic work weaves together aspects of both disciplines. Through hands-on experimentation, he has found that working with clay provides an excellent opportunity to explore both color and texture. Emil enjoys exploring the sculptural nature of clay as opposed to the two-dimensional limitations of graphic design. His work is organic and inspired of the earth. Elemental forms give his work primitive yet refined sensibilities.
Emil studied Floral Design from the highly respected program at City College of San Francisco in 2002, and was he inducted into the prestigious American Institute of Floral Designers as a Certified Floral Designer. Prior to working with flowers, Emil completed his BFA in Graphic Design at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, after beginning his education at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, where he was born and raised.
Emil’s goal in all of his creative endeavors is to communicate meaning, extending beyond the visual form to encourage an emotional response from his audience.
