Experimenting with porcelain

  • • Etelka uses porcelain in painting and sculpture, from architecture to interior design
  • • Several international magazines have published her works
  • • Objects made with her unique drop technique are becoming popular

The works of Etelka Meixner-Hegyi are characterised by poetic finesse. Her objects are often reminiscent of the ever-changing, shining surface of water. Not by chance: choosing their colours is a lengthy process in itself, and their surface is created with a so-called drop technique developed by Etelka herself. The end result is a spectacular surface reminiscent of an optical game that evokes both the surface of the water and the fishes that shimmer in it. Recently, she has also made jewellery using this technique, and she took her first steps towards interior design, too: she creates washbasins and luminaires – with the same precision, sensitivity and richness of detail that applies to her tableware.

Ripple plates

This collection of handcrafted porcelain products mimics and reflects water. The collection of plates manages to create a three-dimensional effect in both its form and execution. The white coloured background of these porcelain products has been subtly coloured with light shades of aqua blue and given a level of texture that pushes the design even further. Subtle use of circular forms further propels this elegant collection of porcelain plates. It almost appears as if pools of pristine water have formed upon the surface of these pieces.
