Ceramic Eggplant Relief by Tiia Anttila - Finland, 2024

A ceramic sculpture by Finnish artist Tiia Anttila, hand-shaped in the form of an eggplant. The contours are smooth and organic, with a subtle asymmetry. Deep violet glaze and green-toned accents create a bold surface contrast, echoing the natural form while abstracting it just enough to make you look twice.

Anttila’s work explores everyday subjects through a sculptural lens — playful yet composed, rooted in observation. Her sculptural ceramics often draw from the plant world and its symbolic histories, filtered through a distinctly contemporary eye.

This piece works beautifully as a standalone artwork or part of a still life arrangement. Strong form, unexpected subject, signed by the artist — and unmistakably one-of-a-kind.
