ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Hand-built ceramic; underglazes, glaze Golestan of Saʿdī: "Knowest thou what that matutinal bulbul said to me? 
 What man art thou to be ignorant of love? 
 The Arabic verses threw a camel into ecstasy and joy. 
 If thou hast no taste thou art an ill-natured brute. 
 When a camel’s head is turned by the frenzy of joy 
 And a man does not feel it, he must be an ass. 
 When the winds blow over the plain 
 The branches of the ban-tree bend, not hard rocks. 
 Whatever thou beholdest chants his praises. 
 He knows this who has the true perception… "

I do not ask myself why I sculpt - I just cannot do without it. Everything I see around me, everything I touch, hear or read, I try to imagine in clay and it is always about the figure. There are always two sides to each sculpture - the thin shell made of clay, cold and static, and those deeply human emotions, which it envelops. My desire is to reveal our vulnerabilities, anxieties and uncertainties behind that thin, fragile, skin-like capsule.
