"Tango" by Millain captures the passionate essence of the Latin dance in this charming stylized figurine. The whimsical sculpture depicts a dancing couple with exaggerated proportions-their rounded bodies pressed together in tango's characteristic close embrace. The male dancer, distinguished by his dapper hat and prominent mustache, wears a formal black suit with pinstriped trousers, while his partner dazzles in a vivid red dress accessorized with a simple pearl necklace and rosy cheeks. Their unified form creates a single flowing silhouette that suggests both movement and connection.

 

About Tango by Millain

Created in 2006, this plaster figurine stands approximately 6 inches tall with a 4-inch width and depth. Discovered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the piece employs a folk art aesthetic to celebrate Latin American dance culture through its bold color palette and playful proportions. The artist skillfully communicates the essence of tango's dramatic intensity through simplified forms rather than realistic detail, using the stark contrast between the black suit and red dress to emphasize the dancers' complementary relationship. When displayed, this charming sculpture brings a touch of Latin American artistic tradition to any space, its humorous yet affectionate interpretation of tango dancers serving as both a cultural touchstone and a delightful decorative accent that invites smiles and conversations about the celebrated dance form.
