Venus of Willendorf incense holder primitive art

The incense stick holder comes in a size of 8x9cm.
The Venus figurine radiates a powerful earthiness. These small statuettes, created thousands of years ago, are imbued with a deep connection to nature and female fertility, something I also seek to express in my own intuitive works. Their forms are sensual and rounded, with ample breasts, a full belly, and pronounced buttocks. My figurines, handcrafted from clay, possess an organic quality. In their simplicity, they appear to have been formed from the earth itself, as if they sprang directly from the womb of nature.
The Venus figurines are a fascinating window into the past, reminding us of the roots of our humanity and the feminine life force.
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.
