Authorial works are not stories about specific events. They are rather an attempt to materialize the places where those events take place.

ABOUT THE WORK

Ceramic sculpture "Altar" is a small sculpture in which two stylized figures meet above a round, altar-like shape. The composition is focused on the center: the soft curves of the bodies harmonize with the stable shape of the altar and create the impression of a restrained connection. The main accent of the work is the gesture of mutual support.

History

The sculpture "Altar" tells the story of a relationship that is created not by words, but by being together. About a place where the most important thing is not an external gesture, but trust, closeness and mutual support. As a result, the work becomes a modern interpretation of the family hearth - purified, restrained and focusing on the very essence of connection.

Combination ideas

It is most subtly revealed in a restrained interior, next to natural wood, stone or matte metal. It is suitable for placing on a console, shelf or small pedestal, leaving space around the work. It fits best in a clean environment, where other objects do not obscure the composition.

CARE OF CHAMOMILE SCULPTURES AND INTERIOR DECORATIVE ITEMS

Fine-grained chamotte sculptures, due to their often more porous, often unglazed surface, are more sensitive to abrasion, dirt absorption, and improper wet cleaning; the most important prevention: dry cleaning.

Precious metal lusters (gold, platinum, palladium, etc.) have a thin overglaze coating, fired at a lower temperature, and are therefore more vulnerable to abrasives and friction; it is recommended to maintain such decors gently, by hand, without scrubbing.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Chamotte is a high-temperature fired and crushed clay material that is mixed into the mass. It reduces drying/firing shrinkage, helps dry more evenly, and can increase resistance to thermal stresses (especially in larger-shaped items), but can also leave the surface with a more porous and "receptive" texture (especially if unglazed).

This maintenance is intended for fine-grained chamotte sculptures, interior decor items (often more massive forms), which may be unglazed or partially/glazed.

CLEANING

Dry cleaning (basic method): remove dust with a soft brush and „drive“ it into a vacuum cleaner with minimal suction. Do not use rough cloths - this increases the risk of scratches and fading of the decor.

Wet cleaning only exceptionally: „washing“ or soaking is not recommended – especially if there is porosity, old repairs or unclear condition. If it is necessary (e.g. sticky dirt), consult a specialist first.
