A graduate of the Mykhailo Boychuk Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design, she specializes in sculptural ceramics, exploring the human body\u2019s form, rhythm, and fluidity.<\/p>\n<p>Clay is her chosen medium\u2014alive, plastic, and ever-changing\u2014mirroring the organic nature of the body itself. Using the coiling technique, she meticulously builds each piece by hand, millimeter by millimeter. This slow, meditative process allows her to capture movement, emotion, and raw beauty in pure, unembellished forms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal is to convey the incredible beauty that evokes emotions: euphoria, ecstasy, catharsis,\u201d she says. \u201cI don&#8217;t aim to replicate the human form but rather to recreate the feelings it inspires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through her work, Horbachevska searches for the perfect line that defines shape, giving it weight and presence. Her sculptures are not mere representations but visceral experiences\u2014embodied emotions, frozen in clay yet pulsating with life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1490642975026{padding-top: 2rem !important;padding-bottom: 10rem !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"vc-ase-element social-block smaller center stretched\" id=\"social-jO0W6TmAsX\"><div class=\"table\"><div class=\"tablerow\"><a class=\"tablecell facebook tip-top\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sofi.polyukhovich\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\"><span class=\"fa fa-facebook\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<div class=\"share-post\"><p>Share this<\/p><div class=\"social\">\n        <a class=\"icon-twitter tip-top share-link\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=About&nbsp;author&amp;url=https:\/\/sofika.com.ua\/en\/about-author\/\"\n            onclick=\"window.open(this.href, 'twitter-share', 'width=550,height=235');return false;\" title=\"Share this on Twitter\">\n            <i class=\"fa fa-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>   \n              \n        <a class=\"icon-fb tip-top share-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/sofika.com.ua\/en\/about-author\/\"\n             onclick=\"window.open(this.href, 'facebook-share','width=580,height=296');return false;\" title=\"Share this on Facebook\">\n            <i class=\"fa fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n          \n        <a class=\"icon-gplus tip-top share-link\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/sofika.com.ua\/en\/about-author\/\"\n           onclick=\"window.open(this.href, 'google-plus-share', 'width=490,height=530');return false;\" title=\"Share this on Google Plus\">\n            <i class=\"fa fa-google-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n\t\t  \n        <a class=\"icon-pinterest tip-top share-link\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/sofika.com.ua\/en\/about-author\/&amp;media=&amp;description=About&nbsp;author\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, 'pinterest-share', 'width=490,height=530');return false;\" title=\"Share this on Pinterest\">\n            <i class=\"fa fa-pinterest\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n    <\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1497283488369{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.sofika.com.ua\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sofika-im.jpg?id=3885) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column no_spacing=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1490641070519{padding-top: 300px !important;padding-bottom: 150px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row as_theme_larix=&#8221;secondary-customizer&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1521296529482{background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1490610777133{padding-top: 5rem !important;padding-bottom: 2.5rem !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equalize=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1490639762672{padding-right: 15rem&#8230;<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sofika.com.ua\/en\/about-author\/\" class=\"button tiny readmore\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-page_builder.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-689","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>About the author \u2022 Sofia Gorbachevska \u2022 Ceramic artist \u2022 Sofika<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sofia Gorbachevska - the author of art ceramics handmade (Ukraine).
