Realistic and emotion-filled clay sculptures of wildlife, historical figures, and Zen themes by artist and scientist Ria Persad
ANIMA combines scientific accuracy with a dream world of nature. Sculptures are hand-made to any size, with most at exact anatomical scale (busts, birds, amphibians, reptiles, sea animals) and large mammals at 25-50% scale. Every subject is researched for its structure, ecosystem, and history. The figure is formed according to the principles of Italian classical sculpture, then meticulously hand-painted by artist and scientist Ria Persad,.
