This stunning triptych by Elena Yakimushkina captures the delicate beauty of blooming white magnolia branches. Each of the three tiles, crafted in the raku firing technique, showcases the white blossoms set against a background of soft, muted grays.
The raku firing process adds a unique character to the piece—when the tiles are removed from the kiln at 1000 degrees Celsius and placed into sawdust, the sudden temperature change causes the glaze to crack, creating fine lines that are then darkened by the smoke, adding depth and texture to the artwork. Additionally, the reduction atmosphere in the sawdust lends a subtle metallic sheen to some areas, giving a touch of brilliance to the piece.
Whether displayed together or individually, this triptych captures the essence of nature’s beauty and the artistry of raku, making it an eye catching addition to any interior space.
