„The Ancient Forest Bride”- the Slavic Myths Fairy
The Ancient Forest Bride, 2020
A handcrafted art doll inspired by Slavic folklore and mythic forest spirits.
The piece features hand-sculpted head, torso, and limbs, individually hand-painted with fine pigments to create lifelike freckles and depth of expression.
Her wild, naturally textured hair is adorned with handcrafted antler forms and floral elements.
Her dress is composed of layered natural fabrics and finished with a belt of found-metal talismans.
This artwork is a part of the artist’s expanding series exploring feminine archetypes and pre-Christian mythologies of Eastern and Northern Europe.
She is a daughter of the Slavic forest — a spirit born from mist, birch bark, and the songs of rivers.
Her hair carries the wild gold of midsummer fields, tangled by wind and time.
Her antlers are not a crown, but a memory — of a world where humans and spirits once spoke the same language.
She appears at dawn, when the light is soft and the veil between realms thins.
Her freckles are constellations.
Her eyes hold the animal knowledge of survival, tenderness, and wild devotion.
She belongs to no one.
She comes to those who have acquired links to the past…
She is part of an ongoing series inspired by Slavic mythologies, pre-Christian folk rituals, and the quiet ferocity of women who carry ancient memory in their bones.
Hand-sculpted in air-drying clay, painted in natural tones, dressed in hand-stitched fabric and adorned with reclaimed bronze elements and organic details.
She is not simply a doll.
She is a companion to the inner wilderness — a reminder that the sacred has always been near.
