Artist statement

In my work I combine chamotte clay and porcelain. I love the contrast of the strong preserving character of clay with the delicateness of the porcelain. Lithophany is the most demanding technique I make. My shapes are clean and the surfaces are flat. On them, I write messages, draw pictures, or insert different elements to describe my ideas.
