A flamboyant collection of 12 pairs of high-heels ceramic boots crafted in various materials and colors.

The boot is coated with a layer of enamel, engraved with motifs, then overlaid with many other layers of enamel. The layers of enamel overlapped and transformed under the influence of heat, which has long been a unique feature of his works.

The highlight of this boot is the silver-encrusted toe box. Silver is pulled in thin threads to create floral patterns and encrusted on the ceramic boot.

Dimension: height 47.5 cm, width 17cm
Technique: Hand pottering, engraving, hand-drawing
