Dobos Ceramics

The path that brought Tatiana to ceramics was certainly not a straightforward one. After an initial attempt

at a career involving numbers and strict rules, Tatiana felt something was in misalignment with how she

wished to live her life and took the risk to look for more. “The need of expressing my sensitivity as a way

of embracing it ignited an inner and outer search. After trying different creative mediums, I arrived at the

discovery of clay as a discovery of Self. The malleability of this material and its reserve of tactile creativity

have enriched me since.”

Echoes of her childhood favourite pastimes - playing with natural elements, making connections between

different objects and placing them together in expressive arrangements - are present in Tatiana’s creative

work today. Always observant of the organic textures and forms, she looks to create objects in complete

harmony with the natural environment, where recurring clay elements represent the process of examining

emotion.

In her works, Tatiana seeks to materialise the mechanisms of the human inner battles, and, at the same

time, to explore the anatomy of the aftermath. "There is a correlation between sentiments, shapes and

colours" she reflects. "I believe that balance and fulfilment bring to life circular and smooth shapes, while

negativeness translates into sharp structures."

Tatiana’s work is permeated by a mindful, meditative state, and each piece is crafted individually using

some of the most common types of clay like stoneware and porcelain and a traditional hand-building

technique to express her sensibility to simplicity and permanence. When working with individuals, Tatiana

seeks to make deeper connections and understand the needs of her clients in a quest to imprint pieces of

their inner landscape onto the final piece of art that will be soon entering their homes.

After visiting Ireland briefly in 2009 Tatiana fell in love with the people and landscape of Galway, which

has now become her forever home and continuous source of inspiration.

In recent years, Tatiana has contributed with her creations to a number of projects and exhibitions.
