Twisted mud
- • Vladislav is a self-taught ceramicist
- • He studied Fine Art in the United States
- • He prefers working with dark clays
When it’s 5am in the morning and Vladislav Petkov, coffee in hand, heads to his atelier in the old Sofia centre, it’s a sure sign inspiration has struck and he can’t wait to start exploring it. With a BA in Fine Art from State University of New York College of Purchase, he spent many years in the USA before returning to Bulgaria. A self-taught ceramicist who persistently digs into the methodology and skills of the wheel, his creative output comes in various shapes – functional (bowls, cups, plates) and sculptural –both a grand display of his vast imagination. His creations are distinguished by a certain purpose. Vladislav enigmatically twists the clay into unorthodox pieces, splendidly distorting the notion of the norm in ceramics.
