Cognac Glass

Sunday, 10 November 2024

30s

The work was designed for drinking cognac. It is free-blown in a glass studio. This makes every glass piece individual. Glass is easy to grab and looks interesting from all angles. The shape of the glass reflects light from different angles adding extra enjoyment to drinking. Due to the flattened shape of the cup, you can place the glass on the table as you wish resting on either of its sides. The name and idea of the work celebrate the ageing of the artist. The design reflects the nuances of ageing and invokes the tradition of ageing cognac improving in quality.

Kepler 186f

Structural basis of Kepler-186f arm-chair is a griddle, soldered from a steel wire to which the elements carved from the oak are fastened with the help of brass sleeves. Various options of armature use combine in harmony with wooden carving and jewelers elements. This art-object represents an experiment in which different aesthetic principles are combined. It could be described as "Barbaric or New Baroque" in which the rough and the exquisite forms are combined. As a result of improvisation, the Kepler became multilayered, enveloped with the subtexts and new details.

Art Installation

Ceramics Extension

The installation is formed by traditional handmade ceramics sculptures and 3D printed plastic sculptures. The art and design are trying to communicate a strong feeling to the audiences that every object, everyone, everything is being extended infinitely. With the presence of sculpture, it is communicating part of the objects they see are real, but the other objects are the reflection by the mirrors, which is unreal. The interaction makes people think that they are stepping into a fantasy world that is created by themselves.

Metallic Sculptures

Rame Puro

Rame Puro is a series of metallic sculptures. Made from whole pieces of copper, aluminum, and iron. The center of each sculpture is polished to a shine while the edges are untouched and retain their industrial character. These objects are perceived as interior accessories in terms of the utilitarian aspect and as sculptures within their calm states. The main challenge was the desire to conform to natural forms. The sculptures needed to look like natural formations, rather than handmade objects. In search of the desired thickness and relief, many iterations were performed.
