Marina Polikarpova (Kukonos) is an Italy-based ceramic artist and painter of Russian origin, graduated from the Stroganov Academy (Moscow, 2018). Over 11 years, her practice evolved into a deep exploration of biomorphic ceramics. Drawing inspiration from the underwater world and marine ascidians, Marina captures the "living" dynamics of organic lines. Her works balance between functionality and pure sculpture, aiming to harmonize spaces and awaken a unique emotional resonance within each viewer.
