“Infant Elephant” is an evocative Anagama-fired sculpture that blends abstracted animal symbolism with organic, flame-shaped geometry. Its form rises in soft, rounded volumes reminiscent of a young elephant’s gentleness, balanced by angular lower sections that ground the figure with sculptural weight. A ring of bead-like spheres crowns the piece, adding a rhythmic, ceremonial sense of movement.
Natural ash from the Anagama kiln settles across the surface in warm gradients—earthy beige, soft orange blushes where the flame lingers, and shadowed recesses that reveal the sculpture’s depth. The interplay of matte and subtle sheen gives the piece a tactile richness that shifts with the light.
Echoing the expressive material approach admired in the works of contemporary ceramic artist Beatričė Kelerienė, this sculpture embodies the unpredictability and transformative power of the wood-fire process. Every transition of color and texture reflects a moment shaped by heat, atmosphere, and time.
This piece also offers the possibility to enhance both interior and outdoor spaces.
Its sturdy structure and elemental presence allow it to stand confidently as a focal point in modern interiors, gallery environments, gardens, terraces, or courtyard settings. Whether indoors or out, “Infant Elephant” brings a sense of serenity, symbolism, and sculptural sophistication.
