I was born and raised in Varna, Bulgaria, and currently live and work in New Paltz, New York. Trained in photography and the art market, I work as a photography appraiser while clay remains a space of freedom, an intuitive, playful practice outside expectation.

I make objects that exist between functional and sculptural. Drawn to biomorphic forms and soft curves, my work explores contrasts of hard and soft, dense and hollow, opaque and luminous. These shapes often evoke organic fragments or imagined beings, carrying the feeling of something discovered rather than designed.

From an early age, I have been fascinated by the mythologies of ancient civilizations and by how the future was imagined in the past. I am drawn to ceremonial figurines, ancient artifacts, and representations of humans, animals, and unknown forms across time.

My work sits between artifact and invention—both familiar and otherworldly—suggesting hidden narratives and ambiguous meanings. Perforations, openings, and hollow interiors allow light, air, and shadow to become part of the form, animating an inanimate material through touch, gesture, and play. The resulting objects are tactile, whimsical vessels meant to be lived with, inviting intimacy, a touch of humor, and wonder.
