Exquisite Handmade Soap Masterpieces Inspired by the Sea

Colorado-based boutique The Charming Frog is a family owned business with overwhelming talent. Deeply inspired by painting, pastels, charcoal and artist including Vincent van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci, their handmade soaps emulate the beauty of sculpting as well as illustration.

The soap masterpieces are distinctive works of art, which range from aquatic to floral themes. With the use of coconut oil, palm oil and safflower oil among many other ingredients, each soap resembles a miniature clay piece. Some pieces are extremely life-like and simulate the beauty of different animals and objects. Find the designer soaps in their Etsy shop.

Naturally Bertil Nilsson

Artist Statement:

Growing up in Sweden I spent a lot of time in the forest but my entire adult life living in the city. Through my experiments with dancers and circus artists I came back to explore nature and, maybe because of that childhood connection, it triggered a great sense of adventure in me. Naturally was born from that inspiration to explore, both the landscape and our role within it. Working with the naked figure in nature is straightforward, there is an obvious connection with our natural history. I’m interested in what happens when I introduce cultural elements – colour, shape and dance gestures – to question that relationship.

What fascinates me about dancers, is how they use and perfect such a large range of movements, from the organic to the decidedly artificial, such as pointed feet. My choice of other elements build on that contrast, both integrating into the scene and serving as a focal point. The placement and choice of colour add a symbolic layer, creating possibly unexpected interpretations.

Naturally is also a personal journey of exploration. My interventions took on a theme of tension between order and chaos. I like to align, structure, analyse and ultimately control – in a visual sense – the world around me. The dancers with their free expression confront me with an opportunity to let go of a bit of my control and let the chaos unfold. In a way the dancer in my work also comes to embody my original childhood playfulness.
