Azami Ballart-Kobayashi
Azami Ballart Kobayashi creates stoneware sculptures that balance organic form and refined minimalism. Hand-built with the coil technique, her works evoke stones, seeds, or shells, shaped through slow, intuitive gestures. Oxides and textures enrich the surfaces, highlighting the raw beauty of clay. Between vessel and sculpture, her pieces embody both presence and emptiness, rooted in Japanese tradition yet influenced by European sculpture. Seeking simplicity and balance, her work invites quiet contemplation and a timeless connection to nature.
