About art and vases by MKS MKS The Artist

The Alchemist Behind the Art

The happiest part of my artistic journey is this: most of the materials I use were once called trash. Where others see waste, I see potential waiting to be shaped.

From Pharmacy to Fine Art Twenty years ago, I visited a pottery studio for the first time and fell in love with the process of shaping earth. However, life led me toward the pharmaceutical industry. While completing my Doctor of Pharmacy degree, the desire to create never left me.

I realized that my background in science wasn’t a separate path—it was the foundation for my Luminous Alchemy. Today, I apply that same scientific precision to my custom mineral-based air-dry clay and chemical finishes, ensuring every sculptural vase is as durable as it is beautiful.

Engineering the Impossible I had no kiln, no wheel, and no formal training. So, I began experimenting. Through years of trial and error, I developed a signature air-dry clay formula—one engineered to overcome structural weaknesses and allow for monumental scale.

Every vase is hand-built, carefully sanded, and refined. To achieve the luminous finish that many mistake for glass, I apply meticulous layers of epoxy resin—transforming raw, organic textures into something unexpected.

Driven by Faith and Persistence People often ask: “How do you create these without a kiln or a wheel?”. The simple answer is hard work. The deeper answer is patience, persistence, and faith. Gallery Page

I am deeply grateful to the Creator who formed us from clay and allowed me to find peace in shaping it. This work is not just about making objects; it is about transforming limitations into possibility. contact page
