Hi,
My name is Andriyana Tsenova. I am a professional sculptor from Bulgaria, living in Balchik — a beautiful little town on the Black Sea, truly a little piece of paradise.
For more than 20 years, I have worked with the human figure — from fantasy and portrait sculpture to fashion mannequins and realistic figures.
Today, I bring these experiences together in my OOAK BJD art dolls — realistic male figures with articulated, ball-jointed bodies, sculpted entirely by me in polymer clay.
Each figure is an individual one-of-a-kind work of art, created from scratch. I do not use ready-made doll parts, 3D-printed parts, molds or castings. I sculpt the face and body, construct the joints, make and paint the eyes, create the hair and clothing, and photograph the finished work myself.
My figures range from approximately 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) to around 15 inches (35 cm). Despite their size, they are fully developed figures with carefully sculpted anatomy, realistic proportions, distinctive faces and individual character.
The ball-jointed construction allows each figure to be posed naturally. This brings together sculpture, BJD and fashion in a single piece — a realistic male art doll created as an original sculpture, not a mass-produced doll.
The male figure is at the centre of my current work. I am particularly interested in the connection between anatomy, character, clothing and fashion, and in creating figures with the presence of a real person.
I work alone in my studio in Balchik, Bulgaria. My OOAK art dolls and articulated sculptures have found collectors around the world.
I sell and ship my work internationally, within the European Union and beyond. Every piece is carefully prepared and securely packaged for delivery.
Here you can discover my current male BJD art dolls, works available for sale, and selected figures from previous years.
