This porcelain matchbox is a unique example of modern objet d'art ideal for displaying in your home or office. Handcrafted with paper-thin porcelain, this box is a real-size object that works and slides effortlessly. Being an exquisite fine art sculpture that crafted with intricate precision, it is an absolute collectible item and rare find. It comes with a porcelain burnt matchstick, adding a conceptual meaning to the sculpture. It inspires contemplation of the passage of time. The burnt matchstick within the box serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. We see colors, hear sounds and feel textures. Perceiving time is not associated with any one particular sense. We do not see, hear, or touch time passing, only emotional perception lingers. Every day is what we all share, where our personal events and experiences happen and, sometimes, intersect. Each day is closer to the last, and almost everything - fears, failures, expectations - falls away in the perspective of finitude, leaving only what is important.

After a decade of the career in corporate finance I got of the path, moved country and started building a new career all over again but this time as an artist. Now I work with porcelain. Porcelain has been regarded as the most prestigious type of ceramics for its delicacy, strength, and the purest of white colour. Porcelain has attitude. The elemental substance of the porcelain is such that there is no waste - everything can be recycled and reused, returned into the making. The environmental aspects are fundamental and remain at the core of my artwork. There is the concept embedded in a physical material itself- “transience, emotion, moment, memory, trace, passage of time”. Porcelain offers the ability to capture marks and features. After years of tests and experiments I developed a patentable technique of encapsulating organic material in porcelain. I collect plants, flowers all over the world, dip them in liquid porcelain and fire in the kiln at 1400 °C. The plant gets caught up in a porcelain and burns out leaving only hollow fossilized shell with all the spikes, leaves, veins. Something that would decay without a trace, turns into a stone instead, becomes a solidified timeless poetry, a little wearable sculpture. Two years ago I founded my creative brand of porcelain jewellery FARPHORIA. “FARPHORIA” originates from the merge of two words: “FARFOR” that translates as “PORCELAIN” and “EUPHORIA”. Nature provides the material. I only transform it in an instrumental way, adding the trace of handmaking.
