Description

This sculpture depicts a slender, stylized woman absorbed in reading a newspaper. The elongated proportions create a captivating elegance and dynamics, while the robust texture of the patinated bronze chooses to accentuate its modernity. Dressed in clothing that barely suggests form, the figure evokes a harmony between abstraction and realism. The newspaper, finely detailed, draws the eye through its juxtaposition with the simplified forms of the body. The posture, combined with the generalized expression, suggests curiosity or inner contemplation. Under subtle lighting, the shadows cast on the ground add an additional dimension, accentuating the sense of movement and temporality. This work skillfully blends figurative art with a cubist touch, offering the viewer a meditation on the everyday in a modernized setting.

Presentation

Born in Paris and living for twenty years in the Bordeaux region, Manoyan has exhibited her work for 3 years. Passionate about sculpture since childhood, she decided a few years ago to produce her bronze pieces, a guarantee of eternity in a world where nothing lasts. Her goal is clear: to transmit her work and her passion to those who appreciate her, and above all to her 3 children, from whom she takes her artist name: Mateo, Noan and Yan.

Its research is that of the right movement, that by which the whole being reveals itself, frozen in its momentum. This precise moment which makes it possible to capture the emotion which emerges from it. Often very slender, her works with features marked by the trace of the tool that shaped them, are also often described as poetic and feminine, messengers of our time: L'Insolente, La Solitude, La Lectrice, L'Envolée.
