Organic Ceramic Vessels And Bodily Forms: Sofia Karnukaeva’s Transformation Sculptures

Sofia Karnukaeva is a Barcelona-based architect and ceramic artist who graduated from Moscow Institute of Architecture (MARKHI) and studied contemporary art at Joseph Backstein ICA Moscow.

Karnukaeva’s tactile vessel-sculptures explore transformation—how external conditions birth new forms. Her organic, zoomorphic ceramics evoke nests, beehives, caves, and bodily shapes, translating abstract intuition into sensory reality.

“Mirror 01.01 ‘Route'” (D 40 x W 15 x H 40 cm) exemplifies her ecological approach. Exhibitions include Collectible Design Fair (Brussels, 2025, NM Gallery) and Dart Haus.
