About Maria Cepissakova (Munich, Germany)

Maria Cepissakova’s ceramic work is grounded in experimentation. She deliberately moves beyond traditional expectations—questioning not just how ceramics are made, but what they can become when the material is pushed to its limits.

In her process, Maria combines different clay bodies, often introducing glass and unconventional firing techniques to create tension, interaction, and surprise. Her work embraces unpredictability, allowing cracks, fusions, and textures to emerge naturally—letting the material speak its own language.

Whether forming large wall-based installations, sculptural objects, or intimate pieces of jewelry, Maria brings together art, craft, and curiosity in equal measure. Her work is at once tactile and conceptual—refined yet raw.
