Resume
Ilona Bruckard is an Australian artist, based in Western Sydney, New South Wales. She specialises in ceramics and works in a variety of other mediums.
Ilona graduated with an Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts, where she specialised in ceramic sculpture. Recent achievements include being part of the community art project #wecreatepenrith organised by Penrith City Council and is included in The Journal of Australian Ceramics in 2019 and 2021. Ilona was also selected to be part of an exhibition at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery in late 2021.
Ilona’s artistic inspiration comes from the exploration of the inner energy that links a sense of spirit to place.
"My Art practice currently centres around working with black and white porcelain clays, to create abstract sculptural forms. My practice and these forms, have evolved from creative play - into sculptural works, that I feel represent a sense of energy and spirit, expressing a connection to place, belonging, and the notion of ‘home’.
