Unique Venus figurine - based on the artifact known as "the sleeping lady" of Malta - Handcrafted smoke-fired clay sculpture

My interpretation of the Sleeping Lady comes in a size of 22x16cm and weighs 2kg.
The Sleeping Lady is a unique figurative sculpture found in Malta. She is interpreted as a mother goddess and is also known as the "Fat Lady." She was discovered in the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni, along with the torso of an androgynous sculpture. The figurine is also interpreted as a representation of temple sleep.
Expand your art collection with this unique Venus figurine – also known as "The Sleeping Lady." It is a handcrafted clay sculpture created using the ancient smoke-firing technique. Each figurine is one of a kind, lovingly hand-modeled and fired to represent the enigmatic beauty and deeply rooted history of Venus. This figurine is more than just a work of art; it is a symbol of femininity, serenity, and timeless elegance. Perfect as a decorative highlight for your home or as a special gift for art lovers. Let yourself be captivated by the magic of this sculptural masterpiece and immerse yourself in the world of ancient art and craftsmanship.

My clay sculptures and jewelry pendants are less replicas of excavated treasures than my own intuitive interpretations. I allow the creation of each piece to unfold naturally, always inspired by my knowledge of the Neo- and Paleolithic periods, as well as by my extended stay in mystical England many years ago.

Each of my manufactured pieces is 100% made by my own hands, without the use of molds, stencils, etc., and is therefore unique, which is further enhanced by the random coloring during the firing process in the fire.
My works are not glazed but receive their silky matte sheen through polishing with agate before firing, which enhances their beauty from within.
Working with clay and then firing the pieces in fire grounds me considerably - I would be very happy to share this feeling with anyone interested in my pieces.

I am happy to implement commissioned work or my own ideas for a specific piece of work, provided it is compatible with my way of working.
Feel free to contact me about this.
