Description

This ceramic artwork by Elena Yakimushkina explores themes of connection, support, and individual freedom. Two hand-sculpted pears embrace each other, symbolizing the strength found in unity. While each pear might be unstable on its own, together they stand firmly, reflecting the idea that love and mutual support can provide a solid foundation. The incorporation of copper rods adds a contrasting element, both visually and conceptually. The rods, with their unique and freeform shapes, represent the inner freedom and self-sufficiency of each figure. Differing in color and texture, these elements highlight the beauty of diversity and the importance of tolerance in our contemporary world.

This artwork was handbuilt and then wood-fired in an anagama-type kiln to a temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius. It consists of two parts: the pears and the base. The size of the base is 19x12x2 cm.

About Elena Yakimushkina Visit Showroom →

Born on the Baltic Coast, I've always drawn inspiration for my artwork from the serene beauty of northern nature. Ceramics, for me, is not just a craft; it's a lifelong passion and a medium for my creative expression. I am endlessly fascinated by the diverse forms, materials, and techniques that ceramics offer. One of the greatest joys of working with clay is the opportunity to experiment with firing techniques. I have a particular fondness for raku firing and wood firing, drawn to the hands-on nature of these methods and the element of serendipity they bring to the creative process. In each ceramic piece I create, I infuse a part of myself, establishing a profound connection between artist and art. Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey.
