The sculpture entitled “Mother ” is a work in brown glazed black matt earthenware, measuring 22.5 cm high. It represents a stylized woman who, with its simple and refined forms, evokes the silhouette of a hen carrying a baby.
The subtle contrast between the matte brown earth and the matt black enamel creates striking visual effects that reinforce the soft yet protective character of the maternal figure.
The light effects on the black matt enamel highlight the shapes while bringing a feeling of serenity and solidity to the whole.
The curved lines and volumes of the sculpture are finely crafted, with a particular emphasis on the expression of motherhood: the woman’s silhouette almost merges with that of a hen, symbolizing protection, warmth and maternal attachment.
The woman’s body is suggested by rounded and simplified shapes, while the baby image is barely sketched, accentuating the idea of care and proximity.
