Hello! I am Lígia Tôrres, the creator of Tonbō Dolls, where each piece is a unique expression of art and narrative. My work focuses on creating articulated dolls, known as ball joint dolls or BJDs, which capture the essence of beauty and culture through meticulous and meaningful designs.

Tonbō Dolls are more than just collectible dolls; they are true works of art. Each doll is carefully crafted, reflecting a deep connection to themes ranging from cultural traditions to personal experiences. I use high-quality materials such as polymer and clay, ensuring that each creation is not only visually stunning but also durable.

The aesthetics of the dolls are inspired by elements of nature, culture, and everyday life. From dolls that honor the ephemeral beauty of sakura blossoms to those that capture the elegance of matcha green tea, each piece tells its own story. The colors and details are thoughtfully designed to convey emotions and narratives, allowing each viewer to connect in a unique way.

With a focus on doll photography, I seek to capture the magic and uniqueness of each creation. I use settings and lighting that enhance the beauty of my work, creating compositions that invite the audience to immerse themselves in the world of dolls. 

These dolls are ideal as gifts or for art collectors who appreciate the beauty and complexity of design.

Through my Etsy shop, I share these unique pieces, inviting you to discover the world of artistic and handmade dolls. Interaction with collectors and admirers is an essential part of my work. I enjoy hearing the stories that people share about how the dolls have impacted their lives or evoked special memories.

In addition to being a form of art, Tonbō Dolls celebrate narrative and imagination, allowing each doll creator to explore their own universe. If you are a lover of doll art or toy art, I am sure you will find something special among my creations. Each doll is made with love and attention to detail, reflecting not only the aesthetic but also the intention behind each project.

I invite you to follow my work on social media, where I share not only the dolls but also the creative process that brings them to life. I believe that art is a powerful way to connect people and ideas, and I am excited to continue this creative journey with you.
