I like a simplified form that highlights the subject – its silhouette and strong posture.

ABOUT THE WORK

Sculpture from the cycle "Everyday Heroes".
The figure with the crown reminds us of a simple but important idea - every person performs small, often unnoticed feats every day in their lives.

History

The raised head, calm silhouette, and crown on his head create a simple yet eloquent image. This figure does not speak of power or triumph. It speaks of the human posture in everyday life.

The sculpture "Everyday Heroes" is dedicated to those moments that are rarely identified as heroic: endurance, responsibility, the ability to move forward even when no one applauds.

The crown here becomes a symbolic sign. It reminds us that sometimes the greatest human feat is simply maintaining dignity and inner balance.

CARE OF CHAMOMILE SCULPTURES AND INTERIOR DECORATIVE ITEMS

Fine-grained chamotte sculptures, due to their often more porous, often unglazed surface, are more sensitive to abrasion, dirt absorption, and improper wet cleaning; the most important prevention: dry cleaning.

Precious metal lusters (gold, platinum, palladium, etc.) have a thin overglaze coating, fired at a lower temperature, and are therefore more vulnerable to abrasives and friction; it is recommended to maintain such decors gently, by hand, without scrubbing.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Chamotte is a high-temperature fired and crushed clay material that is mixed into the mass. It reduces drying/firing shrinkage, helps dry more evenly, and can increase resistance to thermal stresses (especially in larger-shaped items), but can also leave the surface with a more porous and "receptive" texture (especially if unglazed).

This maintenance is intended for fine-grained chamotte sculptures, interior decor items (often more massive forms), which may be unglazed or partially/glazed.

CLEANING

Dry cleaning (basic method): remove dust with a soft brush and „drive“ it into a vacuum cleaner with minimal suction. Do not use rough cloths - this increases the risk of scratches and fading of the decor.

Wet cleaning only exceptionally: „washing“ or soaking is not recommended – especially if there is porosity, old repairs or unclear condition. If it is necessary (e.g. sticky dirt), consult a specialist first.

Gilding/luster is a thin overglaze layer, easily damaged by abrasion and will wear away over time if not properly maintained.
