Contemporary art - clay modelling

I create unique handcrafted practical objects, made from professional grade polymer clay, glass, hypoallergenic metal, semi-precious stones and various other findings. Majority of my projects drive inspiration from nature & fantasy. Magical creatures, fairy houses and enchanted forests is where BCJ design can lead you.

There’s just something about putting Art to use, that inspirational flow you get when you pick up your favorite notebook or turn on your favorite ambient light…Therefore, instead of creating only decorative Art, I decided to sculpt journal covers, lamps and artisan jewelry.

Inspired by nature

Signature organic motifs come from nature

Majority of my designs are inspired by organic textures that you usually see in nature.

Aside from sculpting, landscape photography is simply something I cannot escape. Landscapes fill my soul with creative juices.

Handcrafted

Creating process

Every process starts with an idea, and ideas don’t turn into reality so easily. There’s a lot of thought put into every single piece. From carefully choosing the materials, experimenting with strength of polymer clay by using different formulas, over creating sketches and conditioning the clay…to finally sculpting the piece.

Peculiar imagination

Your daily dose of fantasy

How would life look like without Art? Movies, music, books, paintings, sculptures, architecture… Art is that piece of a puzzle that makes the world better, our minds wonder and gives a sense of peace when we most need it.

Fantasy is no different. If any of my pieces can make you wonder off into another dimension even for a brief moment in time, and put a smile on your face…then I have achieved my goal.


“No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons,
as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery.”

- R.A. Salvatore
