Amadea was born to go to a contest,
III DOLL PRAGUE INTERNATIONAL`s best doll cathegory`s theme was "My Praguers understand me. W.A. Mozart."

I decided to make a female Mozart, Amadea, as a humble tribute to all the women composers and musicians that didn`t have the chance to develop their careers, just because of their gender and the society conventions.
How many synphonies have we lost?

I took me quite a while to "compose" this lady, I didn`t want her to be too obviously femenine, I didn`t want the cliche of that era, she wore may diferent wigs until I got to that hairdress!

Finally Amadea arrived just on time to Praga, and...
¡She won the third place!
