"I have chosen a topic which tries to evaluate my inner disposition caused by the fact that gypsum casting seems to me to be a form of non-variable creativity. "Secondly, my pottery skills that are variable in their form and work with unpredictability principle, are not fully developed. That was the reason to create my own way which would provide me with what the mentioned techniques could not. This final work has opened a new path to experimenting to me. "

"Interior scuplture as WiFi router (provides wireless Internet connection).
Different was to approach the solution of classical boring WiFi routers.
At the same time re-introduction of sculptures into the interior.
The goal is not to mask things with such an important function in the interior as Internet connection is, but to allocate them into their places of honour and add more colourful accidence whether the value of the function is equal to the value of the visual."

Gluttons
"I imagined how 'an inside out serving set' could look like. Jars which evoke uncertainty. Jars which are trying to make us think for a while over the last movement of our hand - before we get tempted and then there is no way back. I freed my mind and let it be carried away by fantasy images of revival of the ceramics mass. I tried to breath life into them, humanise them. I undressed common containers' pure white dress and shoed the true dark side of sweet temptation."
The Blast
"The Blast is a set of ceramics vessels that are shaped by a shockwave induced by controlled detonation. I am using a sophisticated system of explosive charges which - on basis of measurements and tests - determine the final shape of the bowls. As a result, I am presenting a set of different sized bowls which stand on the edge of fine and applied arts. The important point is the act of creation of a bowl. The blast, event, which itself lasts no longer than the actual detonation. A schockwave shaping the bowl is priding at a supersonic speed and partially imprints itself into the ceramic mass. It is kind of punk analogy to an industrial porcelain production, isostatic shaping, which is also based on the use of pressure. However, with much lower cost and much different results classified as free ceramics.
Alchemy
"This work is trying to compare with the alchemistic Great Work. By putting various materials into porcelain we got a large range of dark colours. Those colours and glazes tests were applied on objects inspired by the accidence of alchemistic containers. That is some retorts and flasks which are turned into vases in this work."

Spore
"I have been experimenting with slate in my work. It is a material commonly used in construction industry. My objective was to discover and try new possibilities of this material and to place it into new juxtaposition with porcelain."

On a lea
"My work is a reaction to the development of tea, coffee, and other porcelain ware which are more or less inspired by nature. The objective was to create a functional porcelain set for serving tea or coffee inspired by nature and provide the user with an ability to manifest his own creativity or need to set up his own individual sets."
