Product description
Enter the enchanting world of artist Annelie Pieters Wolfs, where art and craft come together in a stunning ostrich crafted with the ancient Japanese Raku technique. Born in 1949 at the historic Kasteel Oost in Oost-Maarland, Annelie has dedicated her life to exploring and expressing her artistic passions. The castle, steeped in history and located in the picturesque village of Oost-Maarland near Maastricht, serves as a constant source of inspiration for her work. It is currently being restored into an exclusive hotel with restaurants, honoring the timeless beauty of the past in a special way. At just 16 years old, Annelie began her artistic journey at the famous Famous Artist School in Amsterdam, where she took her first steps on the path of artistic expression. Her expertise in Raku-fired ceramics, a technique that represents joy and simplicity, earned her international recognition. In the late 1970s, Annelie discovered the versatility of ceramics at the Foundation for Cultural and Creative Design in Maastricht. Here she expanded her horizons further by experimenting with Tiffany glass art, an art form known for its vibrant colors and detailed designs. Since 1987, Annelie has worked as an independent artist and developed her unique style, combining clay, glass, paintings and felt work. Her works, infused with joy and happiness, are appreciated worldwide and exhibited in various galleries, earning her a respected place in the international art community. Product Details: This stunning ceramic ostrich is a wonderful example of Annelie's unique artistic vision and craftsmanship. The sculpture has a height of 52 cm, a width of 15 cm, a length of 27 cm and weighs approximately 4.3 kg. Every detail has been handmade with love and attention, with the Raku technique creating a special, unique look with beautiful hues and crackle effects. Please note that due to the nature of Raku ceramics, this piece is not suitable for use with liquids or food. However, it is perfect for adding a touch of artistic beauty and timeless elegance to your home. This piece of art is carefully packaged and shipped protected to ensure it arrives to you in perfect condition.
