The sculptures are cast in bronze, and despite the hardness and rigidity of the material the statues are made of, the viewer can easily see and feel the movement, the elegance and the gentleness expressed in the statues. One of the better known series Razia created includes a bronze garden sculpture series of various animals and in particular sheep. The comic bronze figures are unique and have become the artists’ trademark in Israel. In 2006 the artist completed a new series of Horse Sculptures including six pieces to her collection.
