Ruben Pap started to learn ceramics when he was 22 and it took him almost ten years to become a professional. Blending art, design and function with traditional, modern or experimental techniques, Ruben brings a new touch to an age-old tradition. He considers the turquoise glaze used in his works, as his signature. Ruben’s pieces follow his philosophy: the idea of freedom and uncertainty inspires him mostly, because when he makes a piece, he never knows what will happen next. He describes the process of making as a miracle that repeats itself. Ruben uses traditional wheel throwing and forming techniques, mixed with some cutting, shaping and altering to create cups, vases, plates and other decorations. He strongly believes that a master's work reflects the person who made it, in his case it shows his inner freedom.
