Artist’s Statement

I am a Romanian-born ceramic artist currently working from my studio in West Hampstead, London, UK.

My practice is rooted in curiosity and a deep respect for the tactile. Clay demands presence, it records every gesture, every hesitation and that honesty draws me to it. Each piece begins as an exploration of rhythm and structure, but it often becomes something more intuitive, almost meditative.

Clay has always felt like a language to me, one that speaks without words, yet carries the weight of thought, memory, and emotion. When I work, I’m not only shaping material; I’m searching for balance, for that quiet point where form, movement, and stillness meet. Ceramics, for me, is more than a medium; it’s a way of thinking and feeling through material. Every vessel, every sculptural piece carries a story of touch, time, and transformation.

I am fascinated by contrasts: weight and lightness, strength and fragility, permanence and impermanence. Through form and surface, I try to capture moments that feel both grounded and transient - objects that hold space yet leave room for the viewer’s interpretation.
