Claudia Raddi Art-dolls

Hi, I’m Claudia Raddi, born in Italy in 1979, I’ve always been attracted to everything related to art. I studied classical art at school in Florence and worked in the fashion world.
With my passion I managed to create a work that ranges from illustration to trompel’oil up to terracotta sculpture and from 2010 to the incredible world of polymer clay, paper clay and mix media.
I refined the technique with realistic sculptures and hyper-realistic portraits, until I felt ready to sculpt subjects with fantasy and surreal atmospheres, maintaining the fusion of many elegant and precious materials.
I love to paint and decorate the body of my creations with swarovski, sewing, hand embroidery and create every little detail. I would like to transport the observer into a world made of bizarre sweetness.
