Beautiful ceramic sculptures by Orly Montag


Israeli artist Orly Montag has a knack for creating strange and intriguing characters using exceptional techniques and materials such as porcelain, aerated concrete bricks and terracotta. Her website is a treasure chest of unique sculptures. She sometimes posts progress photos on her Facebook page, so make sure to check that out too.

Montag graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in 2010 with a degree in Ceramic Design. The foundation of her work starts with the free hand carving of figures and objects, which are then duplicated in porcelain casting. In this duplication/ cloning act, the artist tries to remove the initial halo of the unique object and to examine the change of it one of a kind individual identity. Through manipulations and the use of these objects as building blocks, a new creation evolves.

Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...

So, have you given Chloe Qisha a listen yet?

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.
