About

Anna Demidova is a Lisbon-based ceramics artist and designer whose work is deeply influenced by her surroundings and her lifelong passion for art and design. With a background in interior design and photography, Anna brings a multidisciplinary perspective to her creations. Her journey with ceramics began with a one-month class at a local studio in her hometown, which sparked her creative calling.

In 2019, Anna moved to Portugal, where living near the ocean in Lisbon profoundly shaped her artistic vision. Water and liquidity became central themes, inspiring her abstract shapes, soft lines, coarse textures, and restrained color palette. She draws from the fluidity of water and the interplay of light and texture to create pieces that feel organic and alive.

For Anna, shape is key to her creative expression. Her intuitive and concept-driven approach allows the clay to guide her process, emphasizing natural textures and often foregoing glaze to highlight the raw, tactile quality of the material. Each piece explores the balance between art, craftsmanship, and design.

Anna is more interested in sculptural qualities than functionality. Her portfolio includes lamps, vases, and other design objects that blur the boundaries between functional and artistic expression. Her works evoke bionic shapes, natural textures, and living tissue, reflecting her fascination with the human body and the natural world. She works exclusively with hand-building techniques, embracing the surprises that emerge during the creative process.

Over the years, Anna has taken part in exhibitions across Europe, including Lisbon Design Week and Paris Design Week. She works directly with clients, architects, and interior designers worldwide to create unique artworks and design pieces.
