Miss Sonya (2020) Скульптура - Elena Uljancic

A unique handmade artwork ceramic figurine, "Miss Sonya" belongs to the series of small, original sculptures with fully-formed facial expressions. This series I've entitled "My Inner Lodgers". For each of my figurines there is a background story of sorts.

So, let's take this figure you're (hopefully) looking at, for a moment.
She's a Lady of the American Frontier in the 19th Century. Riding a stage coach on her journey into wild, unknown lands. Originally from Denmark, she came to the United States looking for an opportunity of a better life. Although she's struggled a lot, just like many women of that historical period, eventually she settled in Oklahoma, raised a huge family, tended a farm, and worked in her beloved flower garden. She lived to be hundred.

This is my story of this particular figure. But, if you guys happen to like or want to buy my sculptures, feel free to give to these figure any name you like. Or don't call them anything, and instead just enjoy them. Perhaps eventually you might come up with a story of your own.


I'd like to add something technique-wise: this particular way of making art – the ceramics - is completely unpredictable. So due to its nature, and the way the items are made, one can never tell the final result with certainty. You can’t, even if you'd wanted, get two exactly same figures. Each one is unique.

So, if you feel you have someone unique in your life, someone who you think deserves a unique gift, this is your place.
That special someone might be you.
