A young Finnish sculptor from Helsinki named Kim Simonsson creates unusual ceramic sculptures of cute, big-eyed girls, animals and humanoid figures. Ceramics, glass, clay, polyester putty, car paint - these are the basic materials that Kim Simonsson uses to create sculptures that are very reminiscent of characters in Japanese cartoons and manga comics. Sometimes with inlays of gold and silver, human-sized sculptures are often covered with a layer of white polish, which makes them look like large porcelain figurines.

Through his works, the Finnish sculptor explores some important issues and problems that concern not only himself, but, perhaps, many of us. Through the creation of some of her works, Kim Simonsson has framed questions by presenting cultural customs and beliefs, both social and religious, from a non-traditional perspective. In others, he explores the relationship of modern man to nature, revealing the problem of alienation and pollution. Figures of children and animals in this context are a more obvious example.
