With her colourful and exquisite animals, Uta Koloczek reinterprets classic porcelain figurines. Similarity to nature is not her main concern; eccentricity and exaggeration are the qualities that give these creatures their charm and distinction. Her appreciation for details can be seen in the elaborate hand painted gold patterns and underglaze decoration.
