Made in matt black porcelain, this bust of a woman borrows its inspiration from the symbolism and intense colouring of African culture. The coloured segments reflect the earthy and rare turquoise pigments and dyes used in African art. The piece also has dep cultural references but still reflects the modern woman.
The serene facial features, masterfully sculpted, are rounded off with a decoration using lustre and metallic colours. Particularly noteworthy are the details etched in the earrings and pendant and the ornamental work recreating the intricate braiding of the hair. The result is a creation with great expressive strength that speaks to the character of African art.
