Anna Volkova masters the craft down to the finest details. Her creativity, imagination and talent make her an extraordinary visual artist. This can be seen as well from her unique window and door installations. Anna came up with the original technique based on polyurethane – an innovative and modern alternative to the classic stained glass.
Anna’s exquisite flowers invoke the magic qualities of porcelain. In her other sculptures, such as the series of porcelain wigs for the Vanitas project or porcelain mirrors, the originality and the complexity of the technique are even more striking. But Anna doesn’t stop on what she has already achieved – she is constantly experimenting and expanding the extent of her skills.
“Tulips were symbolic for the prosperity of the Dutch Republic in the 17th Century. The beautifully coloured and fragile porcelain tulips of Anna Volkova are made by hand, following the old traditions and show us the purity and the grace of these flowers.”
