Mira Petkova
Mira Petkova Workshop · Sofia, Bulgaria
Mira works in short, repeated stages—sculpting, drying, sanding, stitching, painting, and resting. Her figures are shaped by domestic interiors, market flowers, old family photographs, and the muted colors of well-used textiles.

Practice
Mira Petkova works primarily with paper clay, linen, cotton, wool, and water-based paint. The studio’s visual language is timeless, domestic, calm, tactile. Finished pieces are intended as collectible objects rather than children’s toys.
What to look for
- Material choices that remain visible instead of being disguised.
- Small variations that show the work was made by hand.
- Clothing, posture, and accessories used as narrative devices.
- Clear dimensions, edition status, care notes, and provenance.
