This striking and surreal portrait of a young woman is defined by a complex, cool mosaic pattern covering her face, neck and shoulders. The mosaic is composed of bright blue floral patterns and shimmering, white and grey square tiles, reminiscent of delicate porcelain. The woman looks directly at the viewer with piercing, blue made-up eyes, while her lips contrast with a soft, warm shade of pink. The hair is elegantly put up, with loose, wavy locks emphasising classic beauty.
The lighting is soft and diffuse, enhancing the glow of the mosaic and giving it a smooth, almost sculptural quality. The work balances on the border between human and art object, creating an intriguing tension.
My inspiration lay in the fusion of classical portraiture and the abstract geometry of tile work. It is a celebration of the female form as canvas.
The mood is one of elegance, cool perfection and artistic innovation. This is a work that adds a sense of sophistication and modern surrealism to the space.
This sculpture is special in minimalist or art deco interiors. It is a unique, intriguing eye-catcher that is visually strong due to its dominant, cool colour palette.
"Geometry of grace; a timeless portrait, where the perfection of porcelain meets the gentle strength of women."
