My name is Adriana, and through creation, I express what words often cannot. My roots are Slovak, but I spent ten years living abroad – in Italy, Spain, England, the Netherlands, the USA, and finally Denmark, where I studied design. Each of these countries shaped me, added new layers and perspectives that I now carry in my work. In the end, I chose to return home – to where it all began – and opened my own studio. A place where I can create freely, where past meets present, experience meets spontaneity, and tradition blends with experimentation.
Art has always breathed life into me. It pulled me like an invisible thread – elusive, yet ever-present. I explored different forms – from painting to textiles, music to ceramics – and ultimately chose clay. Why? Because it is a material without ego. It doesn’t pretend or try to be something else – it simply is. It teaches patience, respect, and humility. It gives when I give, and it reflects exactly what I put into it.
My brand, ZENÆ, is a celebration of femininity – untamed, authentic, delicate, and strong. It’s a tribute to all the women who shaped me and to those we encounter every day – at work, on the street, at home, in the mirror. Soft curves, irregular shapes, uniqueness, and most importantly, soul – these are the essence of every piece I create. Add sustainability and natural materials, and you’ll understand what ZENÆ stands for.
