The Venus comes to you securely packaged in recycled cushioning material, measuring 22x11cm and weighing 1.7kg.
Discover the timeless beauty and artistry of our handcrafted smoke-fired Venus sculpture. This unique sculpture is inspired by a traditional firing technique dating back to the Stone Age, giving each piece a distinctive, rustic finish. Each sculpture offers a modern and personal interpretation of the famous Venus of Willendorf, honoring the female form in all its splendor. Whether as a striking collector's item or a meaningful gift, our Venus sculpture is a lovingly handcrafted work of art that celebrates the art of womanhood.
Any cracks in the surface of the clay figure are characteristic features of the smoke-firing technique and in no way diminish the quality of the sculpture. On the contrary, they lend the sculpture an even more authentic, antique appearance and emphasize the uniqueness of each individual piece. These cracks are a sign of skilled craftsmanship and make each sculpture a distinctive, one-of-a-kind item.
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.
