Bird in Flight I

16" x 11" x 3" clay sculpture by Julie Latayan. This richly textured ceramic wall sculpture is hand-shaped and painted in bold, earthy tones of yellow, blue, green, and charcoal. The layered glaze application gives the piece an almost abstract quality, while still evoking the unmistakable silhouette of wings in motion. A one-of-a-kind piece that brings nature’s vibrancy and freedom indoors—perfect for collectors of modern folk art or nature-inspired decor.

Julie Latayan merges sculpting and painting in her work, finishing her ceramic sculptures in acrylic paint. Her inspiration come from the rich diversity of humanity’s quirks and emotions. Julie feels a heartbeat in every piece of clay and works to bring it to life in a clever and unique way.
