About

I have a Russian and French background and studied fine arts in both Paris and Los Angeles. My sculptural practice is rooted in a deep fascination with the female form—its strength, beauty, movement, and its role as a vessel of life. I see the body not just as a subject, but as a powerful language—one that speaks of identity, transformation, emotion, and creation.

I work primarily with clay. I’m drawn to its tactile, meditative nature and to the way it mirrors the human experience. When I handbuild, I start with a material that’s soft, fluid, and adaptable—completely open to change. As it dries, it becomes hard but extremely fragile, in a delicate in-between state. Then, through fire, it transforms again—becoming solid, durable, and strong. That evolution feels deeply symbolic and essential to the stories I try to tell through form.

No two pieces are ever the same. Because each one is sculpted by hand, they carry their own energy, gestures, and imperfections. They are not reproduced—each piece is entirely unique.

I’m especially inspired by the female body as a vessel of life—physically, symbolically, and spiritually. There is something sacred in its ability to carry, change, break, and rebuild. That sense of resilience and fluidity is at the heart of my work.

I’m also deeply drawn to imperfection. I often exaggerate forms, stretch proportions, or emphasize raw texture—because I believe it’s in these irregularities that something deeply human is revealed. We are not perfect, and that is our beauty. My hope is that these forms help people not only accept their own imperfections, but recognize the power and beauty in them.

Each piece I create—whether sculptural or functional—is a reflection of that philosophy: raw, emotive, and grounded in the human experience.
