  • About this artist

    Concept

    In the hands of contemporary artist Emilia Switala, Teddy Bears transcend their traditional role as simple playthings, emerging as profound symbols of love, resilience, and hope. Her Teddy Bear Sculptures are imbued with the magic of childhood, inspired by her deeply personal journey through fertility issues, a high-risk pregnancy during a pandemic, the birth of her rainbow baby (a first baby born after a miscarriage), and the challenges of postpartum motherhood. Each sculpture stands as a tribute to the multifaceted experience of motherhood and the rediscovery of childhood through the eyes of her child. These Teddy Bear Sculptures offer solace and remind us of the unwavering power of love, even in the face of life’s uncertainties.
    Switala’s Teddy Bear Sculptures are intensely personal creations, with each bear intimately connected to her newborn son. These bears bear names drawn from his world, reflecting the words and sounds he uses to express his love for favorite things—whether it’s a treasured food, a beloved cartoon character, or a playful mix of English, Spanish, and Polish words. These details infuse the sculptures with a profound sense of intimacy, anchoring them in the pure, unfiltered joy of childhood.
    At the core of Emilia Switala’s work is the bear itself—a universal symbol of tenderness, innocence, and unconditional love. Teddy bears, cherished worldwide as objects of comfort, evoke sweet memories of childhood. Switala’s innovative technique, which incorporates tools from the cake industry, highlights the essence of her artistic message: these sculptures are meant to be “sweet,” not only in their visual appeal but in their emotional resonance. They are designed to uplift, to bring joy, and to serve as a gentle balm against the stresses of everyday life, offering viewers a moment of lightness and positivity.
    Switala’s artistic vision is also deeply influenced by her early exposure to the vibrant, whimsical aesthetics of Asian culture. The colorful, playful designs of Kawaii culture—seen in everything from clothing to stationery—have left a lasting imprint on her work. By weaving these elements into her sculptures, Switala reconnects with her inner child, infusing her creations with the innocence and happiness of a joyful childhood. Her Teddy Bear Sculptures, therefore, transcend their physical form; they are enduring symbols of innocence, hope, and the simple, yet profound, joys that unite us all.
