“I am permanently inspired by the nature around me, by contrasts and mirrors, by poetry in the visual, in music and in dreams. At the same time, I prefer pure, minimalist solutions and timeless, unusual designs. My work offers elegance, playfulness, functionality and clean lines.

I only work on an individual basis. Each of the products is a true original, manually developed from the design to the model, die and the final item. Products are made either from hard-paste porcelain, fired at 1380-1410°C, or from soft-paste porcelain, which is fired at 1250°C. The products obtain their elegance and functionality from their original decoration. Decoration is fired at 750-800°C.

Porcelain jewelry has cut-outs made manually and it can also be combined with a variety of materials, such as wood and silver. Jewelry is decorated with professional-grade glaze enamel or precious metals – preparations from gold and platinum. Porcelain jewelry is also manufactured in series of several pieces.”
