Each piece is a sculptural homage to the ocean, portraying whales, turtles, fish, iguanas, shells, and other aquatic wonders with both lifelike detail and artistic imagination. While some works are purely decorative, many are also functional  &#8211; transformed into lamps, vases, candleholders, and other practical pieces &#8211; making them as useful as they are visually captivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalia\u2019s artistry shines through in her use of richly layered glazes from different producers, carefully chosen to echo the colors and textures of the underwater world. She combines <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=aventurine\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"690\">AMACO\u2019s Aventurine<\/a>, Honey Flux, <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=arctic-blue\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"449\">Arctic Blue<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=textured-turquoise\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"74\">Textured Turquoise<\/a>; soft Velvet Underglaze;  <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=light-magma\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"475\">MAYCO\u2019s Light Magma<\/a>; and SPECTRUM\u2019s Autumn Purple and Sangria to create striking palettes that shift and flow across textured surfaces. These finishes mimic the shimmer of fish scales, the dappled light on coral reefs, and the smooth polish of ocean-worn shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rooted in her Polish heritage and inspired by the sea\u2019s universal beauty, Gendera\u2019s work blends artistry, craftsmanship, and a deep love for the ocean. The result is a collection of timeless pieces that capture both the beauty and mystery of marine life while bringing a touch of the ocean\u2019s magic into everyday spaces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/natalia.gendera.73\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Natalia Gendera<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-id=\"1844\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2330-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful Creatures of Natalia Gendera\" class=\"wp-image-1844\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2330-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2330-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2330-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Whale and gold of the Baltic Sea \ud83e\udde1<br>Only black Aventurine and Honey flux<br>Cone 6<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-id=\"1847\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2329-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful Creatures of Natalia Gendera\" class=\"wp-image-1847\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2329-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2329-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2329-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">I love pastel colors \ud83d\udc93<br>Textured Turquoise, Kimchi (Spectrum)<br>Sangria (Spectrum), Autumn Purple (Spectrum)<br>Magma (Mayco)<br>Cone 6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"1848\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2327-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful Creatures of Natalia Gendera\" class=\"wp-image-1848\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2327-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2327-1.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My turtle is swimming \ud83d\ude01\ud83c\udf0a<br>Turtle-ancient jasper, albany slip brown, arctic blue, black aventurine<br>Shell- arctic blue, seaweed, deep sea<br>Cone 6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1845\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2326-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful Creatures of Natalia Gendera\" class=\"wp-image-1845\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2326-1-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2326-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_2326-1.jpg 965w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">I am in love with this glaze connection \ud83d\ude0d<br>Mugs &#8211;
