Petite Anaïs, 2025

Valérie Hadida   Best sellers Emerging artists

The bronze Petite Anaïs by Valérie Hadida** is part of the series, in which the artist develops an intimate and silent sculptural language. The slender, almost fragile figure is captured in a suspended attitude, poised between balance and surrender. The elongated body, defined by simple and sensitive lines, seems animated by an inner presence rather than by explicit narrative.

The modelling preserves the trace of the artist's gesture, giving the surface a subtle vibration. The face with closed eyes suggests a state of peaceful meditation, while the dense, flowing hair — almost vegetal in spirit — contrasts with the fine verticality of the torso. This tension between abundant materiality and an understated silhouette lends the work a discreet, contemporary poetry.

Through its soft patina and deliberately stylized volumes, evokes a restrained femininity turned inward. The sculpture invites a slow, silent gaze, like a fragile presence that occupies space with delicacy.
