The piece presents abstracted feminine curves nestled within a textured base, creating a harmonious interplay between the highly polished recessed areas and the natural rough-hewn stone surrounding them. The sculpture's flowing lines suggest a reclining female form through subtle depressions and gentle curves that capture light differently across its surface, creating a visual dialogue between the organic shape and the stone's natural character.
About Artwork: Feminine
Created in 2018, this Brazilian stone sculpture measures 11" in length and 7" in width, exemplifying the rich stone carving tradition of Curitiba, Brazil. The artist has transformed the natural material into an elegant artistic expression by contrasting smooth, polished concave sections with the raw, textured edges of the stone. The sculpture's sensual abstract quality invites both visual appreciation and tactile exploration, as the polished depressions catch and reflect light while the natural stone perimeter maintains the connection to the material's earthly origins. The dark green soapstone or serpentine material itself contributes to the piece's allure, with its natural variations in color and subtle mineral sparkles becoming integral to the artwork's aesthetic appeal. When displayed, this piece creates a striking presence whether viewed from above or from different angles, each perspective revealing new relationships between the curved surfaces and the interplay of light and shadow that emphasizes the feminine forms celebrated within the natural stone.
