Have you ever looked at some­thing and thought, “That. Now that is a mood.” The sen­ti­ment is how I felt upon see­ing the ceram­ic sculp­tures by Nas­tia Cala­ca. She cre­ates ani­mal char­ac­ters giv­ing the per­fect side-eyes, gri­maces, and exas­per­at­ed sighs. They are cathar­tic, to say the least!

Nas­tia is able to cre­ate these expres­sive char­ac­ters because of her expert lev­el of crafts­man­ship. Her work has amaz­ing details includ­ing tiny scales, hand-paint­ed feath­ers, and tiny eyes that com­mu­ni­cate things a lot big­ger than they are.

You can buy Nas­ti­a’s one of a kind works in her Etsy shop. Fol­low her on Insta­gram to see what she’s sculpt­ing next.
