Welcome to the mystical world of 

These unique sculptures are made of natural clay, decorated with genuine gold and silver, japanese ink and gemstones of jewellery quality. Everything is created by human hands and designed by authentic inspiration of the soul. 

Mystical beings and feminine archetypes are brought into matter to inspire and accompany us on our journeys. Many people perceive these sculptures as living beings, that bring them support and even guidance.

Beauty, meaning and the body

Clay is a primal material, symbolically connected to the body and Earth. It is a receptive substance that gives form to the inspiration of the spirit. Goddesses of many cultures represent sacredness of female body, Earth and matter itself. Sculptures from Michaela Dauriel are created with this understanding and are intended not only for visual enjoyment. Their graceful shapes and quality of natural clay make them inviting to touch. Tactile contact with this art can open another level of experiencing its beauty and some people even describe it as healing. 

Hello, my name is Michaela

I fell in love with the clay early in my childhood.
Ancient Gods and archeological finds of figurines always fascinated me. I sensed so much power, authenticity and honesty in them.
I started creating small statues of Goddesses, that gradually grew bigger and bigger. 
It is only recently that I started to share my works with international audience. Even though I spent several years refining both my craftsmanship and clarity of my creative vision, I still feel that my journey is just beginning.
I realized that one of the greatest gifts of creating genuine art, that resonates with my inner world, is getting in touch with people, who are attracted by it. 
It will be an honor if our paths meet and I could share my art with you.

Creative process

Creating statues is a very fine-tuned process that takes several months. Sometimes my initial inspiration comes as a vision beforehand. Other times the shape of the statue emerges directly from the clay as I am working with it.

I always follow actual inspiration that comes from what I am currently interested in. Everything I create needs to be in harmony with my inner feeling. I believe that art can be genuine only if it is authentic and aligned with the artist. 

A quote from Alphonse Mucha, that inspires me, says: "Purity of the thought needs to be accompanied by purity of the form."

This is why I am still refining my craft so that it could match my inspiration that constantly evolves as well. I am a perfectionist, but only within the limits of me enjoying the creative process. In these strange times, when we need to double-check if the art is really human-made, perfection takes on a new dimension.

My beginnings

I played with the clay since childhood as I was attending pottery course. My academic education in therapeutic field led me to work as art-therapist with various kinds of clients. After we moved to the countryside, I started to explore clay as an artist again. My first pieces were inspired by ancient archeological findings of Venuses. Gradually, I started exploring wide diversity of female archetypes and the artwork was developing each year. Few years ago I decided to become a professional artist, even though I knew that there is still a lot to learn. I got immense support from my followers on Facebook in Slovakia, Czech republic and Hungary. Women loved my statues. They found them very supportive in healing and exploring female archetypes within themselves. For around four years I was preoccupied by fulfilling demand within my European region and never really took the chance to show my work abroad.
I only took this step in spring 2025, when I have created my Instagram account and website in English. 

Back in 2021

Statues were small, much more simple and not yet with gold and silver leaf.

Starting using gold and silver leaf was a big step in my evolution as they hold a significant alchemical meaning to me.

There is more to come. Stay tuned.
Thank you for your support!
