British Ceramic Artist

Iva Polachova is a London-based ceramic artist using a limited palette of clay and white glaze. Her subtle surfaces have marks of the tools from the making process as a reminder of the hand. The creative process and rhythm of making are crucial to Iva’s work. Iva draws inspiration from the ideas of Brancusi on the essentials in art and Paul Klee's thoughts on the artist distilling from nature. She seeks clarity, simplicity, balance and tactility in her work.
