Porcelain flowers

Her porcelain artworks are a tribute to the inspiration that flowers have given to numerous artists and designers for hundreds of years. The variety of shapes and colours, brief existence and fragility of flowers fascinate her. She tries to catch their beauty and therefore chose porcelain for its cleanliness, plasticity and translucency. It represents purity as well as luxury and greatly expresses the grace of flowers.

Anna Volkova experiments with porcelain and developed some techniques based on old Chinese recipes that enable her to make extremely thin and translucent objects. Each flower is made by hand and gets its individual look after firing at a high temperature. The curly, almost baroque shape of the flower and its fragile surface make it look like a piece of jewellery.

Each flower is unique in its shape and colour combination. It is hand sculpted from tinted or white porcelain and fired at a high temperature. The non-glazed treatment allows for a gentle matte texture, giving the appearance of a real flower.
