EDNA DALI – A NEW WAY OF SEEING

Description

“In my work, I have created a metamorphosis of the material, starting with a simple chunk of clay or porcelain; I go on a journey among characters who originate in our existential essence, love, memory, compassion, separation, achievement, learning, etc.
My creations are an experiment in material, a search for its limits, and the integration of other materials such as fabric, metals, etc.
The works come from an urge to create a world from my imagination that integrates humoristic, fantastic, and day-to-day elements, whether proportional or not.
I try to challenge the observer to use the power of their imagination to create interest, curiosity, and introduce them to a different world.
Clay and porcelain are the primary materials I use. All of the creations go through a firing process at high temperatures, some are glazed, and some include color, real gold, and lace.”

About Edna Dali

For about 40 years, I am creating, designing, and modeling original and prototype sculptures and dolls from a wide range of materials; Ceramic, Porcelain, High-temperature white clay, Paper mache, Wax, Resin, and many more. Using and implemented various sculpting and production techniques as Hand sculpting, plaster molding, bronze casting, RTV/ Rubber molding, etc. For the last 25years, I am sculpting and creating small size, one-of-a-kind imaginary figures from “another world”, made entirely from high-temperature clay & porcelain. I create ‘Figurative Art’ and collections that transform the art of sculpture to showcase periods, situations, and philosophical & human truths.
Several of my creations are decorated with accessories, and others painted with clay & porcelain paints, acrylic, or real gold paint.
Some of my art pieces are a related and present reality, and others are slightly grotesque and exaggerate as they search for equilibrium and harmony.
My creations are internationally acclaimed and can be found in private collections, doll’s museums, and galleries. They have won prizes and have been widely published in the press and in Artbooks.
