DANIELA CĂȚOI is a Bucharest-based Romanian porcelain jewelry designer.
She has an artistic education, holding a Bachelor's degree (2010) and a Master's degree (2013) in Graphics from the Bucharest National University of Arts (Romania).
Shortly after finishing her studies, Daniela worked as a full-time art teacher for a gymnasium. In 2013, she began collaborating with the National Palace of Children in Bucharest, where she has taught ceramics since the beginning, as well as painting for a while. Along with this professional change, Daniela began to focus her artistic career in the field of ceramics, especially porcelain, studying and experimenting as a self-taught different techniques, finishes, compositions, etc.
Daniela's works mainly focus on nature, with a concentration on the small, often unnoticed details of natural elements, structures, and textures. Her works are entirely handmade from porcelain, combined with pigments, lusters, and colloidal gold. The creation process is fully supported by serious photographic documentation or a sensitive, personal experience.
Her main focus is on studying and developing new forms of contemporary porcelain jewelry using themes from the fascinating surrounding world. Her aim is to fully explore them to draw as much attention as possible to the sublime and pure beauty of raw nature.
Recognition of her work has come in the form of several awards, such as Noel 2023 and 2024, the ESHTE Award (AUTOR, 2024), and the Assamblage School Award (ROJW, 2024).

 

Collection details
Name of the collection:
The Inner Garden

 

Description of the collection:

The unending journey unfolds before me.
This profound and often demanding process, I believe, touches on one of the deepest truths of our existence.
As we grow more attuned to our thoughts, emotions, desires, and fears, we inevitably encounter parts of ourselves that rarely align with the idealized version we carry within.
The path to self-awareness can be overwhelming—acceptance does not come all at once, but rather drifts in gently, like a delicate breeze. We are left to choose which fragments of ourselves we embrace, and which we leave resting in the shadows, awaiting the right moment to emerge.
This inner tension is reflected in a porcelain collection of sculptural flowers, each piece designed to be reassembled and reimagined according to one’s own instinct.
States of neutrality, depth, clarity, and expansion are echoed in the ever-shifting color palette ‒ each shade a reflection of the nuanced complexity of this personal journey.
