This is a striking and surreal portrait of a young woman, dominated by intense shades of blue and a fascinating mosaic pattern. Her face and neck are decorated with a complex design of blue and white tiling, strongly reminiscent of the patterns of traditional Delftware or Portuguese azulejos. Parts of her skin are visible through the light 'joints' of the mosaic, creating a sense of vulnerability and depth. Her piercing blue eyes match the colour of the headgear and the mosaic, immediately attracting attention.
The head covering, also in various shades of blue and decorated with delicate patterns, frames her face and adds an element of mystery and grace.
My inspiration lay in the interaction between human beauty and architectural art, and exploring cultural patterns in unexpected ways. The work is a modern interpretation of a timeless aesthetic.
The atmosphere is one of elegance, mystery and artistic innovation. This is a work that invites contemplation on identity and decoration.
This sculpture is special in modern, eclectic or culturally inspired interiors. It is a unique, intriguing eye-catcher that adds a sense of sophistication and artistic depth to any space.
"Beauty in shards; a mystical blue portrait, where tradition and modernity merge into a living mosaic."
