Some works of art ask you to be serious. This one asks you to smile. Maria Dolores is a tribute to everyone with a sense of humour, to those who make joy their way of life. She is born of an artist who, inspired by a love of art, turns her vision of reality into something playful and entertaining.

Shaped entirely by hand by Gloria Di Modica of Artefice Atelier from white clay, this figure is finely decorated in bright, abundant colour, with no single shade taking over, and finished in a luminous, high-fire glossy glaze. With a touch of irony, she shows how the artist sees the world around her, and the close, affectionate bond between an artist and her creations. She is a unique piece that cannot be replicated.

In your home

Witty yet refined, Maria Dolores is a dominant, expressive accent that settles gracefully into any interior. In a calm, minimalist room she brings a burst of colour and good humour, and among layered, eclectic collections she feels perfectly at home. Place her on a console, a sideboard or a shelf, and let her start the conversation.

For collectors: the pair

Maria Dolores has a companion, Pedro, the man’s version of the figure. Each is available on its own, or you may choose the Pair option when ordering to bring both home together, a charming couple with plenty of personality.

A gift as unique as its recipient

For anyone who loves art, design and luxury, this figure is a gift of rare character. She is a joyful choice for a birthday, and together with Pedro she makes a wonderful present for a couple, whether for a wedding or a wedding anniversary. At Christmas she becomes a funny, luxurious work of art that is a pleasure to give and to receive. As she is a unique piece, the one you give will be truly theirs alone.
