"'Secret messages' vessel 2" Sculpture

Natasha Yaroshenko is a ceramic artist based in Los Angeles. Her work is defined by a restrained palette, often leaving clay unglazed to emphasize its raw beauty and tactility. Beginning with functional objects, her practice has expanded into vases, sculptural forms, lighting, and wall art — a continual experimentation that asks what else clay can become. Influenced by minimalist, brutalist, and biomorphic architecture, Natasha’s pieces carry both strength and softness: fluid lines, grounded forms, and textures that echo the natural aging of materials. Her work is also shaped by her lived experience as an artist, a parent and a woman, reflecting on equality, body image, and the tension between inner truth and societal expectation. The resulting body of work is architectural yet organic, raw yet refined — always seeking presence, honesty, and beauty in simplicity.
