Concept

I like to work with all ceramic building techniques: wheel throwing, hand building and slipcasting. My work unites my colorful Russian roots and my new home in Scandinavia. Nature and lake Saimaa is a huge inspiration for me. In decoration I often use local materials, such as lake sand, wood ashes from sauna stove and wild clay. I also make artisanal glazes from natural ingredients. I like to paint pots with my glazes intuitively and see how the surface turned out after firing. I also like to make figurines based on my comics art called ”Murpups from Puumala”. I usually slipcast my figurines, but also I sculpture them as well out of porcelain or stoneware. I love colors and I use them a lot while painting my works with ceramic pigments or underglazes.
