Crystalline Creatures: where fantasy meets material in Svetlana’s sculptures

Svetlana’s sculptures are not your average animal figurines. They are portals to a world of whimsy and wonder, where creatures of myth and legend take shape in shimmering polymer clay, adorned with crystals grown by the artist herself. Each sculpture is a unique combination of artistic skill and natural wonder, designed to evoke feelings of curiosity and enchantment.

Svetlana’s inspiration comes from the boundless realm of fantasy. Dragons with iridescent scales, wolpertingers with fur that shimmers like moonlight, and griffins with feathers that wink like stars are just a few of the fantastical creatures that come to life in her hands. The crystals that adorn these sculptures are more than just embellishments; they are said to capture and amplify the magical essence of the creatures they represent.

Whether you are a collector of curiosities or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the extraordinary, Svetlana’s sculptures are sure to capture your imagination. These captivating creatures are more than just art; they are invitations to explore the hidden corners of our own imaginations and to revel in the magic that can be found in the everyday world.

The crystals that I grow directly on the sculptures resemble a magical concentrate, frozen in the doorway of reality—a wise yet invisible hand carefully creating a crystal structure, molecule by molecule. I have only partial control over the process. Crystals usually make decisions on their own about how they grow. The result is always a surprise. Isn’t it magic?
