Helena Patelisová

Designer and ceramist Helena immerses herself in shaping porcelain miniature worlds. Her porcelain creations, going from figurines to vases and vessels, breathe with a lifelike quality, each exhaling after a detailed and complex process. Despite using plaster moulds for components, Helena insists on shaping each piece by hand, allowing time, air, a firing process, and a chance to contribute to the distinct individuality of every one of her porcelain creations. In the ROOTS collection, Helena explores the hidden essence of plants—their roots and exposes their beauty. She believes the essence of a plant resides unseen, embraced by the earth. The collection showcases resilient roots, typically dismissed as weeds, in captivating cobalt to ultramarine hues—a symbol of profound worth. Each piece narrates a unique story. These vases are a celebration of the unseen, a poetic homage to the resilience and beauty concealed beneath the surface.
