My recent ceramic work represents both an inquiry and a synthesis. Since the 1990s I have pursued scholarly research, produced artistic works, and published regularly in the field of design semantics. Over time, as I also taught in this discipline, I have developed a deep understanding of the expressive potential of colour and shape. In my current practice, I channel this expertise through intuitive expression. Each piece is the result of a deliberate yet emotionally resonant design process. I strive to create a meaningful interplay between shape and colour.

For me, abstraction is not a process of simplifying, stylising or distilling something observed in the external world. Rather, it is a way of giving concrete form to abstract notions, sensations and ideas that arise within me. Through shape, colour and texture, these intangible experiences become tangible objects.

Each work therefore carries both an intention and an openness. The descriptions accompanying the individual pieces sometimes explain how a work came into being, the ideas that informed it, or what I recognise in it. These associations are not intended as fixed interpretations, however. Once a work encounters a viewer, it becomes part of their experience, shaped by their knowledge, memories, emotions and imagination. The meaning of the work ultimately lies in that encounter.
