'...In my creation I use the traditional ceramical technique which is a potter’s wheel. Many people treat it as a tool to produce vessels of every-day use, for me it became a priceless source of inspiration. Since ever the clay put into a whirling motion has hypnotised me. This feeling of untamed force, sleeping within the apparently inanimate mass, evoked the stream of images. They left some traces in the forms performed by me. Bewitched with the magic of motion I try to include at least a particle of the emotions present while working at the potter’s wheel.
My endeavours to reach some kind of order expressed by symmetry and harmony of form proportions is a result of acceptance for ‘uncomplicated’ things. The forms created by me are symmetrical, harmonious solids, close to usable forms in their classical meaning.
But are they vessels?...'
