Inspired by the instability of the modern world, this piece embodies the idea of unity balanced on the fragile edge of collapse.

Contrasting lines and forms remind us that harmony is always finite, while connections and relationships demand constant care and attention. This sculpture becomes a symbol of the delicate yet profound beauty of unity, reflecting the vulnerability of our bonds and the world itself.

I spent a long time painting this sculpture. The multilayered glaze vividly conveys the tension and unease I intended to imbue in this work.

Creating this piece took nearly a year, during which I carefully considered every detail, every stroke, and the emotions of the characters. The material itself—ceramics—symbolizes and underscores the fragility of human life and its vulnerability.

The sculpture underwent three high-temperature firings at 1250°C.

This is a one-of-a-kind, unique piece.

Such a sculpture would blend beautifully into a modern interior, adding intellectual depth and emotional resonance to the space. If you appreciate unique and extraordinary details for your home or workspace, this sculpture is the perfect choice.

The only copy of this work is now available for purchase.

Working with ceramics is inherently deeply philosophical. You work with a material that has been ageless for ages and at the same time fragile as human life.....

A fragile eternity...

  • Profound Symbolism:

    This work is a conceptual exploration of the fragility of human
    existence and its connections within the context of social and existential uncertainty. It raises philosophical questions about the nature of unity, its resilience, and its inevitable susceptibility to disruption. At its core lies a metaphorical understanding of interdependence: a foundation for harmony, yet a point of vulnerability in a world marked by conflict and instability.

  • Complex Technique:

    Crafted from ceramics, this sculpture demands an exceptional level of skill. The artist uses a multi-layered glazing process, requiring several high-temperature firings, to achieve a rich interplay of colors and textures. Each firing carries the risk of deformation, yet each unveils new, unique tonal transitions, lending the piece an irreplaceable depth and individuality. This technique echoes the complex inner landscape that the artist seeks to convey.

  • Unique Artistic Style:

    Combining elements of abstraction and realism, “Twins” embodies a distinct artistic aesthetic that engages the viewer on a deeper level. The form and texture invite introspection, prompting the observer to peel back layers of their own personality. This piece reflects a profound psychological depth, encouraging self-exploration as the viewer glimpses themselves mirrored in the sculpture’s contours and shadows.

Multiple firing at 2280°F (1250C)

I start moulding the mould from the clay, making sure it remains hollow inside and it is a careful and very difficult process. The clay then dries slowly over a month, as rapid drying risks cracking. Once completely dry, the sculpture undergoes an initial firing at 2280°F (1250°C).

After that, I apply layers of brightly coloured glaze and then fire again. Each step carries a risk of cracking, which means I have to start again. During drying, the pieces shrink and warp slightly and the glazes melt and blend to reveal unique colours.

Each step shapes the final result, making each sculpture truly one of a kind.

  • The Fragile Beauty of Unity

    This sculpture represents a conceptual exploration of the fragility of human existence and its connections within the context of social and existential uncertainty. It brings to light philosophical questions about the nature of unity, its resilience, and its inevitable vulnerability to rupture. At its core is a metaphorical interpretation of interdependence: on the one hand, the foundation of harmony, and on the other, a fragile point within a modern world defined by conflict and instability.

    The choice of material—ceramics—is no coincidence. Its physical properties, combining fragility and strength, serve as a direct allegory for human life. The sculpture underwent three high-temperature firings at 1250°C, underscoring the process of transformation and fortification—akin to the inner and outer resistance of a person facing the pressures of the external world.

    The composition and textures of the sculpture exhibit a unique balance between contrasting elements: the stillness of form and the dynamism of lines, the unity of composition and its fragmentary nature. The visual language of the piece is built on the interplay of opposites, reflecting the concept of dichotomy—connection and separation, harmony and tension, stability and its dissolution.

    This sculpture also raises questions about the temporality of human bonds and the need for their preservation. It engages the viewer through universal symbols and emotional forms, inviting a dialogue about how unity can exist amid fragility and instability.
