An experimental approach
- • Yana chooses her materials carefully
- • She imitates surprising forms and transformations
- • She tries to find the balance between art and design
Yana Yunakova first had the chance to try her hand at ceramics and delve into the artisanal traditions as a teenager, when she studied with masters ceramicists at Troyan’s Art School. Her interest sparked her to study at the National Academy of Arts, where she currently teaches the discipline. After mastering the techniques, Yana moved towards an experimental approach. Her imaginative objects combine precision and unique shapes. Often minimal with inventive twists, they are aesthetically pleasing to admire and handle. Yana’s creations reflect her quiet and thoughtful personality, emanating deep emotions through ceramic pieces characterised by their impeccable lines and shapes.

Imitation Product
The project Imitation Product comprises sugarpaste dishes and porcelain meringues. By replacing the usual materials these objects are made of with ones that imitate them, Yana wants to focus on how we apply imitation in our creativity and in our everyday existence.
