Simona Vráblová

My name is Simona and I am ceramist. Clay has been part of human culture since the first civilizations and I love carrying that ancient thread into the present. What excites me is how this humble material holds both memory and possibility: fragile yet enduring, simple yet infinitely expressive. My inspiration comes from nature—the textures of stone, the rhythm of waves, the quiet patterns of growth. Through clay, I feel connected to both the earth beneath us and the timeless human urge to create. With each piece I create, I feel my artistic voice emerging. Every curve and texture brings me closer to a style that is uniquely mine.

I discovered ceramics by coincidence while living in Finland back in 2017, and it has since become my passion. I do both handbuilt and wheel-throw ceramics, creating either functional pieces like kitchenware or decorative items- vases or small sculptures. I don’t have a single favorite technique, but recently I am drawn to sgraffito and decorative painting, often inspired by patterns found in nature. For me, working with clay is both grounding and limitless.
