A beautiful project that gave birth to a new collection of ceramics: Irene Collection

I accepted the challenge of the Darvari Garden team, which last year launched a premium product, Bzyantium olive oil, Irene edition from 2020-2021 harvest. Each edition will be inspired by a region and historical figures from the areas where the olives are harvested for these oils, each product telling a story, which is in line with the philosophy of Una ca Luna brand. I was seduced by this Byzantine theme and set out to offer a contemporary dialogue with the Byzantine tradition. After documentation I was inspired by the richly colored ceramic mosaics and translated them into an element in the shape of a royal crown similar to that found in the representations of the Byzantine Empress Irina / Irene (797-802 AD), the defender of icons, the symbol of this edition of Bzyantium oil. My concept was outlined around simple but combined geometric shapes, ennobled with these colorful mosaic elements. I modeled or used molding and carefully engraved the surfaces for the decorative elements in which I inserted colored glazes, and the chosen material was a white stoneware on the surface of which I applied satin glazes with patina effect and pastel iridescence, alternating textured  and neat surfaces. Their burning took place at 1240C, offering durability to the vessels. In this series I’ve created cups for serving frozen yogurt with honey, platters for syrup cakes, carafe for precious oil, platters and other tableware items that you can find for sale in limited edition in my shop. I am delighted with this royal ceramic collection and the photo shoot turned them into a beautiful Byzantine story! Here you can find more details: https://darvari.garden/irene/

Colectia de ceramica Bizantina “Irene”

Un proiect frumos ce a dat naştere unei colecţii noi de ceramică : Colectia Irene

Am acceptat provocarea echipei DARVARI GARDEN care a lansat anul trecut un produs premium, uleiul de măsline Byzantium by DARVARI, ediţia Irene, recolta 2020-2021 si anume crearea unei editii limitate de ceramica. Fiecare ediţie va fi inspirată de o regiune şi de personaje istorice din zona de unde sunt culese măslinele pentru aceste uleiuri. Fiecare produs va spune o poveste, ceea ce se potriveşte cu filosofia brandului Una ca Luna. M-am lăsat sedusă de această temă legată de Bizanţ şi mi-am propus să ofer un dialog contemporan cu tradiţia bizantină. După multă documentare am fost inspirată de mozaicurile ceramice desăvârşite şi bogat colorate şi le-am transpus într-un element cu forma unei coroane regale asemanatoare cu cea regăsită în reprezentările împărătesei bizantine Irina/ Irene (797-802 d.Hr), apărătoarea icoanelor, ce reprezintă această ediţie. Conceptul meu s-a conturat pe forme geometrice simple dar combinate, înnobilate cu aceste elemente de mozaic colorat. Am modelat manual sau am folosit presarea în forme şi am gravat minuţios suprafeţele pentru elementele decorative în care am inserat glazuri colorate, iar materialul ales a fost o gresie albă pe suprafaţa căreia am aplicat glazuri satinate cu efect de patină şi irizaţii pastelate, alternând suprafeţe texturate, brute, cu suprafeţe satinate. Arderea lor s-a făcut la 1240C, conferind durabilitate pieselor. În această serie am creat cupe pentru servirea gustarilor sau deserturilor, platouri pentru prajituri însiropate, carafă pentru uleiul preţios, platouri şi alte obiecte pentru servirea mesei pe care le puteti gasi spre vânzare în ediţie limitată pe site. Sunt încântată de această colecţie ceramică regală iar şedinţa foto le-a transformat într-o poveste bizantină !

NORDIC LIGHTS @RDW2021 Selection

The collection of phosphate porcelain lamps is inspired by the northern lights.

The simple shape is the basis for playing with ceramic material, the successive layers of porcelain allow to reveal the overlaps when it lights up.

The translucent lamp is created for minimalist contemporary interiors. When unlit the surface of the lamp has a matte, satin look and feel, while lit,

the lamp emanates the warmth of the material, the colors intensify and the game of the porcelain layers becomes visible.

Phosphate porcelain is a precious translucent ceramic material that transforms a room into a cozy space.

Design interior

Sunt încântată de fiecare dată când un client îmi sugerează o idee pornind de la o lucrare de-a mea. Cu un an în urmă o arhitectă a intrat din întâmplare în atelierul meu, căuta ceva decorativ pentru peretele scării unei vile.  I-am aratat o lucrare de mici dimensiuni din prima mea expoziţie personală. I-a placut şi asa a început un nou proiect, ce a născut un altul.

Lucrările parietale pe care le-am realizat sunt din plăcuţe de porţelan dar montate în aşa fel încât să fie fluide, imperfecte şi în acelaşi timp să se încadreze într-un interior al cărui design a fost bine gândit. Piesa mea era cea care completa interiorul casei şi asta mi-a dat aripi.

Am lucrat destul de mult la acest “covor” decorativ din portelan in nuante de lila, galben pe fond alb, cu motive geometrice incrustate, de aprox 1,90/ 90cm. L-am numit “Brânduşe în zăpadă”.

Urmatorul proiect a plecat de la “Brânduşe în zăpadă”, o clientă a venit la atelier în timp ce lucram la această piesă şi s-a gândit la un cadou pentru un cuplu ce se muta în casă noua, un cadou mai personalizat.

Aşa s-a născut un alt obiect decorativ parietal format din 4 panouri cu poze distincte, imprimate printr-o tehnică de transfer pe porţelan ce conferă plasticitate imaginii. Am realizat o simulare cu acest panou pentru a imagina cum va fi expus în noua casă.

Le mulţumesc celor ce îmi oferă inspiraţie şi şansa de a crea piese de design interior.

Romanian Design Week

The collection of “telescopic” mugs, cups and saucers was made during an art residency in Denmark.
An older idea, inspired by the telescopic plastic cup from the childhood school trips.
The inspiration from the Nordic design is found in the geometric shapes of these objects. The colors are based on experiments based on the range of samples and colors from the Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Center.
The collection includes a large cup of tea, a coffee cup and a saucer. The saucer replicates the top of the tea cup.
In 3 words: play, color, telescope!

Exhibition Guldagergaard

The residency @Guldagergaard has ended with a group exhibition at Æblehus/Applehouse gallery, here in Skaelskor. It was rewarding to see our works in a catalogue and exhibited all together. The show had this young, cool, colorful and playful vibe!
It was interesting the experience of curating together as a group, our own exhibition. Though some people were very active, maybe too active regarding other people’s works and some very laid back, in the end we got to a point of harmony. We helped each other and listen or asked for opinion but finally it was also good to have also some fair-minded advice.
During the show, it was nice talking to people about my works, answer their questions and see their reactions. They embraced the idea and it was nice to observe that they had thoughts on the future provoked by my pieces.
I liked a lot the diverse approaches of my colleagues, to see the road to get to the final pieces and the stages in between, the passion and happiness of creation all together in the same studio.

Guldagergaard Studio and premises

The Guldagergaard premises are within a park that used to be an apple farm. That’s why the Art Gallery is named “the Apple house”.
The studio is just across the house. It’s very well equipped and a nice place to work, though open space you can still have your privacy.
I love it’s cupboards with many buckets with all kind of ingredients from the glazing room and I’m planning to make some coloured glaze from scratch.

Tomorrow we are going to work in the kiln yard, in shifts, because we’re gonna have a wood firing. First one for me. I only have a couple of pieces ready for this but I’m looking forward to see how it goes.

Project Network

Each new road has a sign. How did I find this road? Half a year ago I applied for this program, called Project Network, in Denmark, in one of the few International Research Centres in the world. Denmark + ceramics + research = love, so here I am, the chance took me here! Yet, I hardly moved myself from cosy home just after the New Year’s Eve, but it’s worthy, I’m sure.
The house is cosy, ceramicists are usually nice people, so all premises are good. First night I am lucky, they invite me to dinner, but next week it’s my turn to cook, too. There is a joke that this is a ceramic & cooking program.
In the morning we visited the gallery where we will put on our exhibition in a few weeks from now. Even if I feel like on holidays, I am aware I must produce pieces worthy to be displayed in this gallery. That’s challenging. I’ve seen the catalogues of the previous shows and all works were great!
The studio is great, it has a lot of facilities, I picked a place with a view to a green loan which I hope will calm me and leave space for inspiration!
