Dani Veliz is Crafting Amazing Porcelain Figurines Inspired By Pixar’s “Up”

Pixar has given us many amazing animated movies over the years, but Up still remains one of its most beloved classics. Porcelain artist Dani Veliz is a huge fan of this gut-wrenching tale, and she’s crafting the most astonishing porcelain figurines inspired by this movie.

Veliz is a talented porcelain artist from Santiago, Chile, who usually works with cold porcelain clay. Her work is mostly inspired by Pixar and Disney classics, and a single look at her Instagram page will immediately tell you which movie holds a special place in her heart.  

The majority of Veliz’s creations are inspired by different motifs from the beloved movie Up, which came out in 2009, won two Oscars, and inspired several short films. It chronicled the journey of a grumpy widower Carl, who decides to keep a promise to his late wife Ellie after her passing and embark on a trip to Paradise Falls they’ve always dreamed of.

Veliz’s porcelain figurines are inspired by some of the most iconic motifs from the film, including Carl’s house with countless colorful balloons tied to it. It’s her signature product, but she also made figurines of Carl and Ellie at different ages, along with several other Up characters, including Russell and Dug.
