Originally from Stavropol, Russia (1987), Ilona now calls Brooklyn, NY, home, where she embarked on a self-taught journey into the world of ceramics. In her work Ilona delves into the intricate interactions of fired and raw material, uncovering poetic effects. Her process is a tactile devotion, a reverent excavation of forms concealed within raw earthen material. Ilona's work stands as a testament to the profound beauty that emerges from embracing the nuances of nature and the artistic process.
