Like our ancestors, who for more than 10,000 years, made parts for utility use, these experiences seem to have a place in our genes …
Due to the aesthetic sense, the works have won beauty and rigor in the decoration. One can not speak, these early creations on the subject of art. That is, with all the human and spiritual force that an object may contain (and this perspective is in the eye of whom see), we can, yes, talking in a religious sense of worship or that it will take strong action in rituals and religious ceremonies later .

Yet it is inevitable to recall the clay-stained hands, the smell “sue generis, the work sometimes crudely conceived, gesture, imagination. It is something that accompanied us on our collective individuality.

The discovery of pottery techniques, forms of conduct with their hands to heaven and hell, life and death, a flower or a human figure, is now so ubiquitous as in millennia past.

Pottery is a living art of difficult techniques, experimentation and risk the adventure. It is a passion full of mysteries and constant discoveries. A maze that leads to the inevitable fire.

The art of pottery in my opinion has two states indis-sociable (?). Thought while modeling, which is the most direct result of our action, drying and cooking; are the result of the passage to life, through the fire. The decoration works in ceramic body as a rich robe, sometimes florid, landscape, human or allegorical motifs. For nearly 10 years, I discovered ceramics and she felt an inevitable passion, I can guarantee that forever changed my vision to see and feel the world. Feel every gesture, every shape, transparency, texture, color, approached me more alchemy of men.

Boleslawiec is a small town located in the southwestern part of Poland. The production of ceramics began in the Middle Ages and here in the nineteenth century and the city had 15 potteries. At that time the area was part of Germany and the city was known as Bunzlau. Despite the political, ceramic production was discontinued. Today is the manual production pottery is larger than using traditional methods.

Although made in Boleslawiec pottery is very characteristic, offers a variety of shapes, sizes and decorations. In addition, all products are decorated by hand using the punch technique that helps make each unique. Among the most typical ornaments are some that are considered inspired by the drawing in the tail of a turkey, including dots, circles and small flowers.

These products are made of white clay decorated, glazed and baked in special ovens. Despite its traditional appearance and manual techniques used in their production, Boleslawiec pottery is very durable and can be used in a dishwasher, microwave and freezer. Thanks to the homogeneous color, even pieces with different motives combine very well together. Another ceramic production center in Poland Wloclawek. The pots, plates and bowls Wloclawek have varied ornaments, especially with motifs of plants and flowers.

I began drawing and painitng at an early age often by doing my teachers and classmates before doing my homework. In high school I developed an appreciation for the works by Picasso, Michaelangelo and Dali. Their works inspired me to use my imagination and let the spirit flow from my mind through my soul into energy through my fingers on to canvas for my creations.

“The self is a repressed content; as it arises from (sub)consciousness, it keeps changing as though to deceive us about its nature” Kuspit D (1988) Lucas Samaras: Subjects and Objects In the form of Diaries, journals and personal artefacts I use the self image as the subject of my work. It is an intimate process that recalls the past and documents the present journey of self discovery. I use the instant Polaroid camera because of its simplicity and low tech feel. I also use it as a private tool. Through experimentation I look at myself through the image and as it evolves as does the nature of it slowly I become the object. The images that are created are ambiguous and attemot to transcend literal intepretations in order to evoke some other order of being. A search of the soul and the capturing of the aura are important themes within the images.
