Funny, funny, unusual, and even useless - such epithets can be used to reward ceramic dishes, which the Amsterdam sculptor makes with pleasure. Monique Goossens … Her design can be called playful - like a sport in which she is a true master. And maybe Monica's sculptural dishes are really useless - but they are so funny that it is simply impossible to look at them without a smile. The author herself calls her ceramics humorous. She says that the idea of turning ordinary cups-saucers, teapots-glasses and other utensils into funny art objects suddenly came to her during a period of excellent, naughty mood, and captured her so much that now it is impossible to stop - new projects are swarming in her head, only manage to bring them to life, please yourself and amuse others.
In addition to humorous ceramics and sculpture, Monica is engaged in interior design and industrial design. At one time she graduated with honors from the Academy of Design Eindhoven and the Academy of Interior Styling in the Netherlands, and a distinctive feature of her projects has always been a subtle sense of humor and a masterful approach to the implementation of ideas. You can see the rest of the sculptor's work on her website.
