About The Artwork
Anna Akhmatova is one of the most significant Russian poets of the 20th century. Anna Akhmatova wrote: “I taught women to speak ...” - and in these lines, there is said a lot . This poetess, in her strong and bold, very sincere verses, became the voice of Russian women of the 20th century. Her love poems are full of feelings, and no one expressed the feeling of love so boldly, sensually, and openly before her. Her poems about the difficult fate of the Russian people, the persecution, and the Stalinist repressions that affected her family and many other families in Russia are the voices of all Russian people, merged. Her work was condemned and censored by Stalinist authorities, and she is notable for choosing not to emigrate and remaining in the Soviet Union, acting as a witness to the events around her. Akhmatova wrote of her temptation to leave: A voice came to me. It called out comfortingly. It said, "Come here, Leave your deaf and sinful land, Leave Russia forever, I will wash the blood from your hands, Root out the black shame from your heart, [...] calmly and indifferently, I covered my ears with my hands, So that my sorrowing spirit Would not be stained by those shameful words. In my work, I wanted to reflect Akhmatova's femininity and beauty, and at the same time, her extraordinary strength and fortitude. I use light burning clay and make using slab and coil building techniques. The work is then fired in an electric kiln twice, the second time at a temperature of about 1080c. The work is decorated with engobe and glaze. This work is hand-built and totally unique. The work is suitable for interior locations. Work will be sent in a wooden box, carefully packed. Signed at the surface with my signature stamp. Certificate of authenticity included. Any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Russia
I draw and sculpt during all my life, without these things I cannot imagine it. I admire the beauty of life, exactly people and animals, from the bottom of my heart. In my artworks I usually appeal to philosophical and eternal topics, that is close to most of all people. The topics like maternity, sport, and music, the life path is looking easy for the first time, but are relevant for thousands of years, and I show my point of view and plastic interpretation of them. The creation of a dialogue of classic themes and modernity also is one of my goals in art. I believe that the meaning of life is in creation, in careful and thoughtful observation of the world around us and unity with it. These feelings I often try to convey in my artworks. Sometimes my work has a story, personal deep experiences that are inextricably linked with my work. But at the same time, I believe that a personal reading of the work by the viewer, the impressions and sensations that he will receive, self-aware of what he sees is more valuable than reading any annotations. Plasticity of large forms and the feeling that the work elusively carries are the most important things in art, in my opinion. I want my works to be minimalistic in their shape, so I remove all unnecessary leaving the most important things. I also believe that beauty is in simplicity - the simplicity of shape and simplicity of meaning. I usually use natural materials, like marble, bronze, wood, metal. I feel that material helps me in my work and sometimes tells me the right way.
