A ceramic panel holds a special place as a distinct branch of sculpture. This direction allows the artist to explore experiments with textures and glazes.

In her panels, Elizaveta creates abstract images where the narrative is hidden in the behavior of the material. This approach invites the viewer to perceive ceramics differently, moving to a new level of understanding that requires knowledge of the technology and nature of the material.
Later, these material properties are employed in narrative works to form recognizable images. Through experimentation, the artist discovers a new language of storytelling, offering a fresh tectonics of lines within traditional forms.

In this series of panels, Ielizaveta explored the possibilities of burning synthetic texture bases combined with high-temperature ceramic slip.
The created macrocosm of the landscape serves as a universal model, scalable to objects of various shapes and sizes — a concept the artist successfully applied in different series of her work.

The “Plots” series demonstrates how the discovered language of textures can express classic images.
The anthropomorphic figures—wood gatherers, family members, and an angel—are shaped not so much by the artist’s hand as by the natural behavior of the material. Having identified certain patterns, Ielizaveta creates conditions that allow the material to independently convey her concept.
The selection includes works featuring experiments with the burning of organic and inorganic bases, as well as pieces that underwent copper reduction firing and are coated with the author's experimental soda glazes.

This series is the culmination of the artist’s accumulated experiments, now brought into a refined scale that allows each piece to stand as a complete work of art. The dimensions transcend the sketch stage, asserting themselves as fully realized artistic statements.
Before the viewer unfolds a mysterious landscape, like a glimpse of an unknown planet seen from above. Everything breathes unfamiliarity: cracks, lines, layers of glaze — as if shaped by winds, rains, and time on an alien surface. These terrains are born from a delicate dialogue between the artist and the clay, where the material is not dominated, but invited into co-creation. The result is a world one longs to enter — to feel the thrill of discovery once again.
The combination of original textures and surface treatments deepens this sense of immersion, drawing the viewer into the role of explorer. Wandering through this microcosm, one can easily lose their way — and yet, in that very act of drifting, find themselves anew.
