Sunai Raillard
I love using ceramic surfaces as a canvas to paint and decorate. I get a lot of my inspiration from the breath-taking scenery when hiking in the Swiss alps and from children’s books that I used to read when I was growing up in Switzerland. My work also reflect some of the serenity of my Korean roots. I also do some abstract paintings.
I use various methods of clay surface decorating including carving, sgraffito, slip inlay techniques, as well as painting with underglazes.
I like the idea that people enjoy my art pieces not only as visual art but also that all my pieces can be used as functional trays and platters to enhance the gourmet experience at the kitchen or dining room table.

Pastoral Harmony. Crimson Meadows
Materials Oil pastels on canvas board. Framed in a black shadowbox. Year 2023. Shipping within the USA. A drop of something real, a pinch of something inspired, and a dash of something fictional all mix well together to create something unique and magical. Every good story has these ingredients. Paintings are a lot like stories but use composition, form, color, and strokes instead of words.
Path to Dusk
Materials Oil pastels on canvas board. Framed in a black shadowbox. Year 2023. Shipping within the USA.Lets embark on a journey. We can take any road and mindlessly walk until the last sun rays hide behind the horizon. There is no other reason to do so except for connecting with yourself. Faced with the unique beauty of the moment, the sunset that will never repeat, you can learn to appreciate the elusive and fleeting. And maybe, as a warm smile appears on your face, youll also find deeper love within you, love for life with all its precious moments.
