DATERIUS 🪴
We all want to learn new skills and develop them in order to feel secure and confident. For the elf Daterius, this is no different. He owns an inn that houses passing travelers in Leaf Village and has always enjoyed the work he does – but it wasn't enough to make him really happy. Since he was a little boy, he was passionate about botanical creatures and only now has he started to pursue that dream. Daterius has created a small garden next to his inn to plant enchanted seeds. So the crafty elf finds his true calling in growing little botanical sprouts that bounce around and attract new customers to his resting place.
ELVEN DREAMS COLLECTION 🍃
The Elven Dreams collection expresses the enchantment of the world based on the natural green, moss, brown wood, textures of leaves, plants and large trees that inhabit this Earth and other Earths. When the first rays of sunlight touch the leaves and feed them with vital energy, the beings of nature come to life and animate their bodies as they awaken to a new dawn. This is how the Leaf Elves came to life, guardian beings of the entire vegetable kingdom and propagators of tons of green throughout Nature. They live in Leaf Village, an old region where most of the houses are built among the trees.
The collection brings together 8 interactive sculptures with poseable bodies and removable costume parts. They are creations for collectors who want to interact with their works, in addition to just observing. They can be categorized as mixed media sculpture. All the small details were created manually without using molds, in a long and immersive creative process where time, dedication and experimentation are ingredients of ritual art. Each elven creature was materialized between 100 to 150 hours over months
