Description

This ceramic sculpture captures the tenderness of an animal duo. The work is based on the ancestral raku technique. This Japanese process plays with fire and thermal shock. 
The result reveals a network of fine, organic cracks. These lines draw a natural texture on the white surface. The material seems to breathe. 
The volumes are rounded and soft. The gaze of the two figures brings a human and expressive dimension. The artist here favors the truth of the line and the simplicity of forms. 
The contrast between the whiteness of the glaze and the dark nuances of the nose and eyes structures the composition. The verticality of the whole creates a harmonious balance. 
The raw aspect of the earth dialogues with the precision of the modeling. This piece highlights the fragile beauty of the wild world. The matte finish accentuates the relief of the sculpted details. Each shade of gray comes from the effect of the smoke during firing.

Presentation

Sandra, passionate about sculpture, is a true explorer of the beauty of Nature through her art. 
Her artistic journey began at the Louvre School, where she studied Art in all its forms. For 25 years, she immersed herself in the world of painting, exploring colors in all their ranges and nuances.

However, her call for sculpture does not take long to manifest itself, prompting her to turn towards modeling on earth. This change marks the beginning of a new adventure for Sandra. She engages in different sculptors' workshops, where she explores and perfects her technique. Her inexhaustible source of inspiration comes directly from Nature and the animal world, particularly through marine mammals and the richness of their expressions.

She also explores the raku technique, an ancient Japanese firing method. This technique allows for the creation of original works characterized by the contrasts of the smoking and the fascinating colors of the glaze combined with the cracks resulting from the thermal shock. Each piece is an adventure, a dance between fire, earth, and the artist herself. In the uncertainty of the glaze fusion, in the deliberate imperfection of the smoke, authentic and undoubtedly unique pieces are born.

Thus, with the constant idea of highlighting the beauty of Nature, her stance is that of an explorer on a path towards inspiration and the progress of her technique to bring forth from the earth expressive works in seeking to express truth and fertile inventiveness…The path is never over.
