About the Item

Commanding and otherworldly, this wall-mounted female bust by Daniel Painter—titled “Fantasía”—is an extraordinary fusion of mythic imagination and modernist precision. The artist’s sculptural mastery transforms the female form into an ethereal presence: serene, powerful, and unapologetically surreal. Twin horns curve elegantly from the crown, evoking archetypes of transformation and divine femininity—part goddess, part dream vision. Executed in plaster and fiberglass, the piece achieves an arresting balance between fragility and endurance. The surface, with its hand-finished texture and subtle patina, glows under ambient light, accentuating every ridge and shadow across the face and shoulders. Painter’s deft control of proportion and expression imbues the work with an emotional gravity that bridges classical figuration and post-modern fantasy. The artist began with a mold created from a human model and morphed her into a life-sized fantastical figure. Hand painted and mounted on a wood plaque. Fiberglass and Bondo over foam. Dimensions: 14.5" Deep x 22.75" Deep x 60" High

Fantasy Female Bust Figure Original by Daniel Painter, Plaster Fiberglass
By Daniel Painter
Located in Chattanooga, TN
This commanding female bust by Daniel Painter—titled “Fantasía”—is a striking synthesis of modern sensuality and classical poise. Cast in a rare combination of plaster and fiberglass, the sculpture merges tactile delicacy with structural permanence. Painter’s hand is evident in every contour: the elongated neck, stylized hair, and serene gaze evoke both ancient Greek ideals and mid-century surrealist dreamscapes. The work’s monumental scale and sculptural luminosity elevate it beyond decorative art; it becomes a meditation on beauty, imagination, and form. Under ambient light, the matte surface catches soft shadows across the figure’s cheekbones and shoulders, revealing Painter’s mastery of proportion and rhythm. This piece belongs as comfortably in a refined modernist interior as it does in a contemporary gallery context. The artist began with a mold created from a human model...
