Flavia Krasilchik of Alameda has a clay sculpture called “Gostosas,” (which in Portuguese means “Juicy”) installed in Geyserville. The inspiration for the sculpture comes from the various birds flying every day in the bird sanctuary in front of Krasilchik’s house. “Gostosas” are three funny, well spirited, good humored, sensual birds in their quest for fun. The sculpture is 62 inches high x 34.5 inches wide and 20 inches deep and is located at 21375 Geyserville Avenue. This whimsical sculpture is sponsored by Joe and Sue Pelanconi.
Born and raised in Brazil, Krasilchik moved to the United States in 2003 and practiced architecture until she discovered utilitarian ceramics. She moved next to clay as a medium for sculpture. Her sculptures are whimsical with a touch of the absurd and reflect Brazilian culture and the great painters.
