Qiu Zhijie, vice-president of CAFA, says Kvasbo lives in a very old village, and he keeps antiquated items of furniture at home; they are quite strong and have inspired him to think about the meaning of persistence and inheritance of traditions in a creative way.

Lyu Pinjing, a professor of CAFA and vice-president of Jingdezhen Ceramic University, in Jiangxi province, worked with Kvasbo to curate an international ceramic art biennial in Jingdezhen in 2021. Lyu says that, since the 1970s, Kvasbo has always believed that clay is a material full of emotions, cultural meaning and unique qualities, and his works show how he faces up to the challenges this material and his work have raised. "Clay is the embodiment of his thought. His works show a balance between the possible and the impossible."

Kvasbo's works will travel to the Taoxichuan Art Museum in Jingdezhen in early 2023, where he stayed briefly for a residence four years ago.
