Adamczyk Golaszewska Renata

About my dolls:My name is Renata Gołaszewska-Adamczyk and I come from Poland. I graduated from the Faculty of Art Education and from the Academy of Film & Theatre Make-Up. For many years I worked with children with intellectual disabilities as a caregiver, teacher and occupational therapist. One of the methods I used in my work was art therapy and one of my initiatives was a project called a Magical Journey in which I used makeup techniques to do makeovers. It allowed me to fulfil some of the dreams of the children in my charge, to make them feel for a while as a beautiful actress or as a character from long ago. I have been working as a doll artist since 2012. I made my first doll for my daughter Hania. Motherhood awoke in me many old memories. The emotions of children and people with intellectual disabilities are always genuine and therefore beautiful. Through my dolls I’m trying to show that the external beauty of a person comes from their inner beauty. My dolls come from a land dearly missed and fondly remembered by grown-ups: the Land of Childhood. My dolls are very personal. My purpose in using this form of art is to show the beauty of a person. However, I don’t focus on the external, but the internal characteristics and emotions. I would like people to see that true beauty of a person flows from the heart. And if it is genuine, it never passes away. I have shown my dolls in collective and individual exhibitions. Many of them have been bought by collectors.

As well as these they have got joints in neck, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees (picture No. 1). Mechanics of joints is led down into the back of the dolls. Here it is possible either to tighten or to let out the tougness. In contrast to original dolls present dolls do not have painted faces and hairs, in our case everything was replaced by precised wood-carving and therefore each piece is a unique original. In such way we make all supplements, properties and sceneries. Marionettes We divide these into 2 cathegories:- decorative - focussed on visage and intended for your interior. They have less joints.- theatrical - intended for playing, they have more joints necessary for gestures, their construction is more resistant.

Brabenec Štěpán

Stepan grew up from his childhood in an artistic environment of puppet theater, which influenced his whole life. Thanks to his talent and the parents soon began to focus on creating puppets. Later on he was also addressed by the articulated art dolls. At present he make both, puppets and articulated art dolls made of wood. A large number of his works received the highest awards. STEPAN very elegantly combined old Czech puppetry tradition with contemporary and modern art doll. Stepan BrabenecBorn in 1974 in Prague, Czech Republic5 years modeller for industry and design14 years craft restorer and preserver in Národní technické muzeum (National Technical Muzeum in Prague) Pinned dolls Pinned dolls (Dutch dolls) appear at the end of 17th and at the beginning of 18th century and in fact come from Austria. These are also known as penny woodens and Nuremburg filles coming from Bavarian and Austrian Tirol. We use this technology entirely to create miniatures where we cannot use any other articulated joint (due to proportions and material - wood). Separate joints are adjusted in wedge link which with its tightness allows fixation in selected position. Our dolls correspond to the original dolls with the technology of construction only, this we enriched in some articulated joints by cotyle links - silicon bed kept by rubber to express the gestures better. Below pls find the examples. All-wood articular (jointed) authorship dolls The same as in previous cathegory, however we put it into the story of known little figures which come to life in our concept and creative manufacturing. It has mostly to do with the scenes with different supplements which help to tell the stories. The function of our dolls is to evoke the smile in your faces and the wish either to chuck or to nurse these little figures. Their movable joints enable to express various gestures, moods and emotions thanks to which they try to bring to your life peace, quiet and so necessary smile.The wood has one basic skill - it warms when you look at it. There is no else material with such ability at all. Pubescence Silky insolents as I call this cathegory arised as the image of one amazing girl Tereza which at the moment fights with this period of time. She knows everything best, she is very critical, convinced of her true. This cathegory and style can be described by no interest in anything generally acknowledged: dismissive quiff over one eye, black and white seeing of the world illustrated in their eyes (in the eyes of those who from time to time look at us when we adults do not exceptionally gibber). Then deep colours which do not correspond with their bicolour views at all. The whole cathegory is composed like teenagers going to carnival. Thanks to this it is possible to incorporate all these little figures into whichever story or fairy tale. EMO By gentle form I try to make fun of this style which more likely worries the people. I am showing it as exaggeration and parody of its absurdity. Manga and comics Manga is Japanese style of digital graphics, in our concept adapted into 3D wooden world. Together with comics they both create blend of styles, something between classical and modern interpretation of marionettes and dolls. Marionettes We divide these into 2 cathegories:- decorative - focussed on visage and intended for your interior. They have less joints.- theatrical - intended for playing, they have more joints necessary for gestures, their construction is more resistant.

Verhelst Marlaine

Marlaine Verhelst lives and creates in the Tilburg in The Netherlands. Since 1999 Marlaine is a NIADA (National Institute of American Doll Artists) member, an international organisation with doll artists from all over the world promoting dolls as art. Marlaine also is one of the founders of DABIDA, the Dutch and Belgian Institute of Doll Artists. Marlaine Verhelst started dollmaking in 1976, just after finishing the Art Academy where she studied Graphic Design. Marlaine's dolls are characterized by the naive and strong characters. They were in her mind when she started making her own dolls and still are her source of inspiration for keeping it simple: don't add too many details and don't use too many ideas in one piece.Marlaine's other motto is: don't stick to conventions. If a blue horse suits a doll better, she makes a blue horse. Dare to be unique. Maybe Marlaine's background as a graphic designer makes that she still creates dolls that tell a story: three-dimensional illustrations of imaginary stories. She never uses existing fairy tales or characters for her pieces because she has the feeling that it is not creative to copy an idea someone else came up with. Marlaine Verhelst started making her dolls in air drying stone clay but after a couple of years she switched to hand sculpting directly into porcelain. She thinks porcelain is more professional and longer lasting and she likes the surface better. It is a difficult technique though. At a certain point Marlaine started adding animals to her dolls, again to tell stories with them. She revives such her three-dimensional images of the new dynamic elements. Marlaine has created a very distinctive artistic style, which is followed mainly by the young generation of artists from all the world. Owning her doll is as much a matter of prestige for galleries and collectors as for lovers of modern art. Whether you opt for any of her works, you can never be mistaken. You will fall in love very soon with her kind-hearted, sometimes a bit naive creatures that spread around peace and humility.

Voga Ziva

We are a Slovenian couple, Živa Voga & Saša Rojak, a creative duo, living and working in Austria. We are translators and handcrafters, who believe that the recipe for happiness is a mixture of good deeds, listening to your heart and desires and ... believing in magic. After a few years of making Waldorf dolls and needle-felted fairies, we decided it was time for a step in a new direction and started making paper clay sculptures. The main idea behind our sculptures is upcycling: old teacups, coffee grinders, lamp shades, sugar bowls, door handles or old fabrics are given a new lease of life. 2015 ended with an exhibition and at the beginning of 2016, a fresh wave of inspiration hit us... dandelions! Dandelions have inspired us for a long time; not only are they a symbol of transformation, they also have a beautiful story associated with them. Every child knows and believes: if you make a wish while blowing on a dandelion clock, it will come true. The more we thought about manifesting this legend, the stronger we felt that there must be something more to this. The picture soon became clear: we created little Wish Messengers, tiny Fairy Brooches, you can take anywhere you go! They sleep in the dandelion flower head until its yellow petals turn into a silvery white puff. Only a good wish can wake them. Right before a breath of air blows away the delicate seeds like tiny parachutes, a Wish Messenger quickly grabs one of the seeds and thrusts it into the soil. And when a new dandelion flower grows from it, the good wish comes true...

She has been led to the perfect work with textiles by her courses in fashion and costume design at the Fachhochschule Hamburg. Although she describes her textile creation as follows: "My haute couture is produced in much smaller scale!" The author also focuses on painting simultaneously. Her portrait paintings go compared to the trend against the downsizing. She loves her oversized proportions for which she seeks balance in a distinctive color intensity. The diversity of both artistic disciplines creates a tension that gives the artist the opportunity to create easy. Painting has influenced the creation of dolls in approaching with colors and shapes. On the contrary plasticity and faces and bodies typography of her three-dimensional works greatly influenced her painting. Inspiration for her doll making are random and can not be specified or even generalized. She makes notes and sketches, and then these pieces puts together into a circle with smaller and smaller radius; from its center finally appears object to become independent work without external formation. On the contrary, to a painted portrait precedes the observation of a real person; regardless of whether it is stored in artist's memory or if it is confronted by its real existence.
