KVITKA

Ukrainian artist, ceramicist, and architect Serhii Makhno has built an extensive body of work for over twenty years. Incepted in 2003 in Kyiv, Makhno’s studio has become a reflection of the breadth and depth of the artist’s multi-disciplinary approach. Today, Makhno Studio houses a ceramic workshop alongside the architecture and design studio.

Across mediums, Makhno’s work embodies the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic and philosophy that has been a longstanding pillar of inspiration to the artist. Makhno's series of lights exemplify his artistic sensitivity, whether small or monumental. Each features a highly textured, sculptural silhouette of organic shape that is hand-form by the artist and his team of ceramicists at the studio.

Makhno creates timeless, contemporary works that are anchored in traditions, as he intertwines his Ukrainian cultural heritage with inspirations drawn from Nature.
