Roxana
The conscientious graduation of architecture university was followed by a lack of perspective and enthusiasm towards the trade. Those times were spent looking for meaning and fresh experiences in cooking, graphics, photography. But this exploration was accompanied by a worrying shyness. Ceramics was the field I embraced joyously. So here I am discovering and creating. mud. is the result of my chaotic and heterogeneous energy and Andrei’s more balanced, efficient and serious vision; it’s our pretext to define and create our own universe.
I spend lots of energy by letting my self get carried away through curiosity and by details, without caring for a destination. I enjoy the process more than the result, which sometimes is left to chance and comes at a surprise.
The input I need is various, juicy, baroque, shrill, sheer, pearled, bright, sandy and this produces an approach full of imperfections and divagations, multiple threads and layers and lots of fluff.
I like paradox, tensions and abstract things; I feel there is a valuable core to it and inaccessibility feeds my ambition and curiosity. The more complicated, the more fascinating. I’m fighting my ego and my fears, the inability of deeply understanding things.

Colegiul german Goethe 12, UAUIM 6, Fabrica de Design 7. Starting 2015 mud. is the prefered space for expression and a field to overflow with the years of experience around architecture and the thousands of hours of work done for different brands.
Ideally I would like to build everything I own. Everything should be loaded with meaning and have a personal touch. The things I enjoy are bound to a short frequency range, both precise and unpredictable. That’s age.
In design ceramics are not really mainstream. Porcelain has a very specific use but it opens a world of possibilities. The material is considered noble, but the objects it produces are in fact not valued as such. I found an unusual balance of forces in ceramics and that’s why I enjoy it so much.
Roxana also has some of this and so we’re doing mud.
