Alissa Volchkova
Lives and works in Paris
Alissa Volchkova is a Franco-Russian designer and artist working in Paris. After several years of experience in architecture, she changed the scale of her projects to produce objects. Her work poetically explores various processes of production, revealing their uniqueness and developing the potential of surrounding materials by pushing their limits. Central to her work is the theme of movement, achieved through experimental techniques that blend tradition with innovation. She draws inspiration from historical methods like the 16th-century Venetian ‘ice glass’ technique while also embracing the spontaneity of slip movement and the unpredictable dynamics of kiln firing. Volchkova’s creations balance adaptation with control, pushing materials to their limits to form distinctive, progressive shapes that are both beautiful and original.
