Ilona Romule arról ismert, hogy ironikus és erotikus képeket használ, mind a finom porcelándarabjain, mind pedig a porcelánfestékekkel díszített alkotásain. A kerámiaművészetben Ilonát leginkább a háromdimenziós kifejezés lehetősége érdekli, felhasználva a grafika és a festészet ötvözetét.

Különféle mázfeletti dekorfestékeket használ, amelyeket a mesterkurzus során be fog mutatni.



Traditionally she works with porcelain. Ilona supplements her sculptural works with fine painting in overglaze technique, thus developing plastically expressive compositions, participated by human, animal and peculiar hybrid figures. In the motives chosen by the artist, figures settle in form and material in the game of symbols and character situations.

Ilona’s unique and high quality artwork has allowed her opportunities to work inside world-known porcelain industries such as the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg, Russia. 18 years ago in the International Ceramics Studio, Kecskemét she first used the high quality porcelain available here and now most of her works are created here.

Ilona has received international recognition with her slip cast porcelain figures and is reknowned for her use of semi-erotic imagery both in the form of her fine porcelain pieces and also in the surface decoration.
