More about Michael Schilkin

Michael Schilkin (1900-1962) was a Finnish sculptor and ceramicist born in Trubino, Russia. He moved to Finland in 1921 and studied at the Central School of Art. Eventually he was hired at the Arabia porcelain factory. He is mainly known for his stoneware and clay figurines depicting wild animals, but also created human figures and wall reliefs in public places with musty glazes in earth tones. The sculptures are powerful with a humorous tone.
