Artist Statement
Nina Gorbenko is an artist whose journey from the world of poetry and then photography led her to the tactile realm of ceramics, where everything came together - the poetic symbolism, and the visual storytelling. This transition into ceramics and mixed media art was a natural progression, a way to say more with less, to appeal to the emotional or even subconscious self.
The Philosophy
Nina’s art uses language spoken in textures, colors, and forms. The creations are more than mere objects; they are feelings told in clay, meant to resonate with the observer in a tactile way and bring a sense of peace and introspection.
The Inspiration
Drawing inspiration from the diverse beauty of nature and the richness of human culture, Nina's work captures the essence of her experiences. Both ceramics and photography are a celebration of the world's varied landscapes and textures, from the subtle interplay of light and shadow reminiscent of her photographic work to the raw, tactile sensations of the earth in sculpture.
The Commitment
Nina is committed to sustainable and ethical artistry. She believes in creating beauty that respects our planet, employing environmentally conscious practices and materials that are as kind to the earth.
