Two Lovers Vase

COLLECTION 1 - CERAMICS - GV worked on the ‘’Tylissos’’ series in Crete, where part of Elina’s family is from. There we explored Ancient Minoan ceramics and objects, made for and by a society tuned with rituals around nature and bigger forces. We have never been able to decipher the Minoan civilization and its written language. What we are left with, so clear, so vivid and tangible is its craft – softened by time, rendered ageless and so much more mystical and powerful. This language and absence of thereof inspired our process. Minoan ceramics and pottery like most ancient clay traditions carry the finish of the technical abilities of their time. Low and uneven firing leads to soft, porous surfaces. We tried to distance the appearance of our ceramic from Minoan pottery through hyper-technical, high-firing, and metal-like finishes. We searched for a new identity, through physical qualities that change in different light conditions. The changing appearance of our glazing can sometimes look dark brown or black, light brown, blueish, or transparent; exposing the grains of the stoneware underneath. It has this contradiction of a grainy but smooth character.

In 2021 we both graduated as architects in London, UK. Since then we have worked in architecture offices around the world, until founding our own creative studio in 2022. Since 2023 we participate and organize glassblowing and ceramics workshops in Bulgaria and South Korea.
Georgiev Zabeta is a multidisciplinary practice that floats within the fields of architecture, art, theory, research, and other phenomena. We don’t believe in self-contained disciplines.
We focus on distilling idiosyncratic responses to complex real-life conditions, with observation and experimentation as fundamental creative forces.
