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

ABOUT THE WORK

The sculpture "Horse", in which the figure is conveyed in a restrained, purified form. It is a work about strength, endurance and connection with cultural memory.

History

The horse has long been considered a symbol of strength and a symbol of endurance. It accompanied man on his travels, in his work, and in historical stories, so the image of this animal acquired a deep cultural meaning.

The form of this sculpture is deliberately simplified. Small details have been omitted to highlight the figure itself – its calm silhouette and firm posture.

Accents decorated with metal oxides are inserted as small highlights of the form. They create a rhythm on the surface and subtly highlight the plastic structure of the sculpture.

Combination ideas

The sculpture looks best in a minimalist interior – on a console, shelf or desk. A clean background emphasizes the silhouette of the form, while directional lighting highlights the surface texture.

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.
