Rafał Klementowski

Ethnologist and tour guide in Sudetes. His passion is ceramics and clay sculpting. He organizes and leads ceramics workshops. He uses the properties of clay very well. He chooses rough textures emphasizing the rawness of materials and form. Sometimes he makes clean sculptures, only from clay, sometimes he decorates them sparingly with coloured glaze, most often he combines it with wood.

The topic of his sculptures is a human. It is often a face with a grimace expressing rebellion, sadness or fear, a fragment of the torso, predatory hands. A human in conflict with life, himself, sometimes longing for harmony with nature (wood).
