About the Item
Description of the Artwork:
This captivating sculpture depicts a slender siren emerging from its base of rough stone in a vertical thrust, with her arms raised and crossed above her head. Cast in bronze, it marries strength and grace in a fluid and dynamic form. The artist has managed to bring this mythological figure to life by instilling an organic texture into the metal, alternately smooth and rough, evoking both the sensuality of the female body and the aquatic element to which she belongs.
The siren's body, long and sinuous, extends into a powerful tail whose finely textured scales convey movement and substance. The upward posture suggests a gesture of liberation or supplication, depending on the viewer's interpretation. The arms crossed at the summit form a line of force that channels energy toward the sky, while the lower body, anchored on the stone, recalls her marine origins. This duality between water and earth, dream and reality, gives the work a symbolic depth.
The treatment of the bronze, with its warm and oxidized patinas, accentuates the contrasts of light and texture. The hair, cascading down her back, seems animated by an invisible current. The details are treated expressively rather than realistically, lending the figure an almost dreamlike quality. Every viewing angle reveals a different facet of the sculpture: sometimes soft and welcoming, sometimes mysterious and wild.
The raw, rocky base serves not only as a pedestal but also as a symbolic link to the natural world, reinforcing the idea that this creature is a being of transition, between worlds. The ensemble evokes deep themes such as freedom, emancipation, femininity, and the union between human and nature.
Through its refined yet expressive style, this work belongs to a contemporary tradition of figurative sculpture, blending symbolism and raw emotion. It catches the eye, but also invites silent contemplation, like a siren's song frozen in bronze.
