Plate by Mihai Topescu, Ceramic, Signed, 59cm high, 62cm wide, 7cm deep, Kitchen, Interiors sculpture

Plate by Mihai Topescu is a signed ceramic sculpture measuring 59cm high, 62cm wide, and 7cm deep. The work takes the familiar form of a plate but transforms it into a striking decorative object. The surface is predominantly black, creating a bold backdrop that makes the colourful centre stand out with even greater intensity.

In the middle of the plate lies a vivid dip, layered with streaks of white, yellow, and earthy browns. These colours appear to have been built up and then filed down, revealing a unique blend of tones and textures. The result suggests depth and movement, as though the colours shift and swirl inside the piece. This central detail contrasts with the flat black surround, drawing the eye immediately inward.

Furthermore, the plate does not follow perfect symmetry. Its edges remain slightly uneven, giving the sculpture an organic quality. This irregularity adds character and emphasizes that the work is not meant for function but for display. The uneven shape and textured middle celebrate imperfection and the artist’s hand in shaping the material.

Although it takes inspiration from a domestic form, the piece is purely decorative. It stands as an artwork rather than a vessel. The combination of bold colour, tactile layering, and organic irregularity makes Plate a statement piece for interiors. It merges everyday familiarity with artistic experimentation, turning a simple object into something visually rich and expressive.
