Făbricuțe is a small red clay sculpture, part of a larger series of ceramic miniatures in which the artist humorously and ironically engages with reality. Using with type of clay and working entirely with his hands, without any tools, Răzvan Botiș embraces a raw, imperfect, and gestural practice. The artist's fingerprints and delicate actions are visible and are integral to the work.
