Niiv, the Storyteller - Art Doll Sculpture | Elven Dreams Collection

NIIV 🎵

The sound of singing that enchants is the greatest power that some can have. This is the case of the elf Niiv, the bard, a storyteller who sings to the world all the pain and love that her ancestors left behind through mythological stories. Bone and wood and all the leaves of the great tree that holds the world together are essential elements of the repertoire that the sensitive elf leaves wherever she goes through music. She knows how many moons have passed and the time to leave Leaf Village is approaching. She is afraid of going out into the unknown but understands that it is her people's tradition: and deep down she wants to embrace everything the world has to give her.

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
