I am a ceramic artist based in Vienna, Austria, dedicated to creating handcrafted ceramic pieces that explore the intersection of form, texture, and artistic expression. My work draws inspiration from nature and contemporary design, creating functional and sculptural works that invite contemplation and connection.
My relationship with clay began years ago in a small studio overlooking the Danube. What started as curiosity evolved into obsession — the tactile nature of clay, its responsiveness, and its ability to transform under pressure fascinated me. I studied under master potters and explored various techniques, from traditional wheel throwing to experimental hand-building methods.
Each piece I create is a conversation between intention and material. I believe that ceramics bridge the gap between utility and art. A bowl should be beautiful to hold. A sculpture should invite touch. This philosophy drives every decision in my process.
My work is influenced by minimalist design, natural forms, and the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi — finding beauty in imperfection. I'm drawn to the raw honesty of clay, the subtle variations in glazes during firing, and the unexpected results that come from experimentation.
Nature remains my greatest teacher. The patterns of erosion, the geometry of plants, the textures of bark — these observations find their way into my forms. I'm also inspired by contemporary artists pushing the boundaries of ceramic practice.
My studio in Vienna is a working space where experimentation and refinement happen daily. I maintain an active practice, always testing new clay bodies, glaze formulations, and techniques. I believe that growth as an artist requires continuous learning and pushing boundaries.
When I'm not in the studio, you'll find me exploring nature, visiting galleries and museums, or teaching ceramics to others who discover the magic of clay.
