THE MAGIC OF PIXIE GIRL

Pixie Girl has sprinkled her magic and stolen the hearts of Paradise Galleries friends and family alike.

Every magical detail from her spirited Pixie ears, to her mystical attire makes Pixie one of our most enchanting companions to date.

We caught up with the artist behind the Pixie Girl Sculpt, Fiorenza Biancheri to chat about her career and the inspiration behind her work.

PG: Tell us a little bit about yourself Fiorenza:

Fiorenza: In my workshop, I used to paint on glass and porcelain and make various creations using decoupage, cold porcelain, sewing and so on. I did this until eighteen years ago, but I’m now entirely devoted to my beloved dolls.

I began sculpting small dolls made with salt paste and polymer clay, trying in the meantime to find new materials to help me create other kinds of dolls.

After some time searching, I finally found all the materials and methods I needed. I began working with fabric dolls and then, after attending some training courses, I started making my first porcelain dolls.

PG: What inspires you when creating a doll sculpt?

Fiorenza:  My great inspiration are children: I love their expressions, their pouts, their wonderful smiles! When I reproduce them, I’m happy! I take inspiration looking baby magazines and, of course, reproducing my real children when they are babies.
