Description
This unique sculpture depicts a mermaid in a dynamic and unconventional pose, with her body curved and her large tail raised above her head. The composition plays with movement and balance, creating a highly distinctive silhouette with a strong visual presence.
Handmade and hand-painted, the piece combines a rich range of blues, from luminous shades to an almost black blue. Small white brushstrokes scattered across the tail recall a night sky filled with stars, creating a striking contrast with the lighter, warmer tones of the face and arms.
The free modelling, visible brushstrokes and deliberately naïve proportions place the piece within a contemporary artistic language closely related to naïve art. The mermaid’s smiling expression adds tenderness and a touch of humour, reinforcing the spontaneous character of the work.
A sculpture full of fantasy, colour and personality, capable of becoming a small focal point on a shelf, console table or within a curated arrangement of objects and artworks.
