Handmade Goddess sculpture with a prehistoric soul - Timeless smoke-fired art

The sculpture, measuring 19x8cm and weighing 650g, arrives securely packaged in recycled cushioning material.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of smoke-firing art, which, with its deeply rooted, prehistoric techniques, takes us back to our origins. Each handcrafted sculpture from our Etsy shop tells its own story and is rooted in a centuries-old tradition dating back to the Paleolithic era. Our pieces are made from naturally fired clay and feature subtle color variations achievable only through the traditional smoke-firing process. This method, characterized by the controlled heating of the clay with smoke and flame, makes each creation unique and captures the essence of prehistoric and Neolithic art. From simple Stone Age decorations to playful goddess statues, our collection inspires reflection on the origins of human creativity. Ideal as an aesthetic element or spiritual companion in your modern everyday life.

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.
