Even becoming adults, many still do not stop believing in a fairy tale, in this fictitious kind world, the bizarre inhabitants of which always mentally return us to childhood, to such a carefree time for everyone.
The Spanish woman Rosa M Grueso is a girl for whom a fairy tale has become a life. She grew up as a dreamy child, she believed in the existence of a fantastic world. It is this faith that now helps her to create and embody her fantasies and ideas in doll sculptures.
The talented 27-year-old from Barcelona has been working on creating fairy dolls since 2005. The girl sculpts her characters by hand, working with polymer clay, without using molds. Her dolls are first born in the imagination, and then skillful hands themselves draw the subtlest image of a mermaid, a fairy, a forest faun and other magical characters.
