ART DOLLS are art objects, created for adult collectors and not toys for children. They can be defined as figurative sculptures of refined art. They can be human, humanoid, anthropomorphic, fantasy but essentially they are original works of art with the appearance of a doll or statue used to express an emotion, a thought or a concept of the artist who creates them. They can be very realistic or abstract. Reborns and repainted fashion dolls are not considered Art Dolls. Do not belong to Art Dolls category animal Art Dolls or any other types of non-human sculpture including fantasy (fairies, mermaids, centaurs, etc.). Just like other forms of art Art Dolls can be expressed through multiple materials, styles and sizes: the production of artistic dolls requires a wide range of skills and technologies, including sculpture, painting and costume. They are objects made with different materials such as fabric, paperclay, polymer clay, wax, wood, porcelain, natural or synthetic hair, yarn, wool and felt. As for other art works, Art Dolls need weeks or months of work to be created. Art Dolls are dolls created from scratch till the last detail by the individual artist itself (from conception to design, from sculpture to painting and finishing the piece)and thus they will no longer be reproduced being one of a kind objects.

This category includes objects made by artists and artisans who make fantasy and kawaii characters as long as they are artistic products, hand-made one by one, by polymer clay and original creations (i.e. not copy of someone else work). Materials other than polymeric clay may be present but only to a lesser extent and exclusively to complete the sculpture. These characters can stand alone or used as pendants, decorations to hang, knick-knacks, or whatever else the artists who make them suggest.
