Elnaz Nourizadeh

 Elnaz's studio practice centers on ceramics and sculpture, delving into themes of connection, communication, and identity, ranging from individual experiences to broader social contexts. In 2018, while completing her Master of Fine Arts at RMIT, she expanded into installation art, further deepening her exploration of the intricate relationship between the mind and body. Elnaz’s passion for working with clay, a material inherently connected to the body, began in her early teens. This formative experience became the foundation of her focus on capturing the transformative effects of meditative states in both personal and social realms through her experimental sculptures.

In 2013, Elnaz established her artistic practice in Melbourne as a ceramicist, sculptor and ceramic teacher. Her functional ceramics quickly gained acclaim for their distinctive hand-painted designs and vibrant colours. Alongside her award-winning sculptures, her tableware has been featured in prominent publications such as The Design Files and Broadsheet,.... Elnaz’s creations have been commissioned by renowned international companies, galleries, and private collectors, including Anthropologie, Fenton & Fenton. She also maintains ongoing collaborations with esteemed partners like Mr Kitly Gallery, Market Lane and many more.
