A Book, a Cat, a Dream

A Book, a Cat, a Dream-Ceramic Reader with Cat
Some places do not exist on any map. They can only be reached by opening a book, following its words, and leaving the noise of the world behind for a while.

In this ceramic reader with cat, a young woman is completely absorbed in her favorite story. The open book in her hands becomes a doorway to secret gardens, wonderful adventures, and dreams that unfold page after page. Beside her rests a small cat, quiet and comforting, a faithful companion sharing the magic of the moment.

The soft pink tones of her dress evoke tenderness, warmth, and lightness. Her relaxed pose captures a peaceful pause, one of those rare moments when time slows down and everything feels perfectly balanced.

This ceramic reader with cat is dedicated to those who love books, to those who find shelter in stories, and to anyone who knows the gentle presence of a beloved pet. It is a sculpture that celebrates imagination, serenity, and the beauty of simple everyday joys.

Every detail is hand sculpted and hand painted, making each piece unique and one of a kind.

Technical notes

The sculpture is hand-modeled with a pinkish-toned clay.
I applied glossy and satin enamels
The skin is left in natural clay, while the coloured parts have been painted with different hues of engobes (slips) in order to create delicate nuances and plays of colour.
The little face is as small as a hazelnut. The curls are applied one by one and are made of delicate clay strips rolled on themselves.
The tiny book, no bigger than a postage stamp, is hand-painted with care.
The sculpture underwent two firings at 980°
