Description
This ceramic sculpture is composed of two parts, a bear and a balloon. The silhouette is in a serene posture, eyes closed, evoking a moment of absolute rest. The animal rests its paws on a ball, creating a strong visual anchor.
The raku technique brings all its nobility here. The thermal shock creates a network of fine and irregular cracks on the entire surface. These dark lines contrast with the whiteness of the glaze, recalling the natural texture of skin or reflections of water.
The work on the volumes favors round and protective shapes. The artist plays with the shades of gray and brown to highlight the anatomical details. The nose and the paw pads are worked with precision, bringing a tactile realism to the whole.
This piece combines mastery of fire and earth. The final rendering emphasizes the balance between the fragility of the material and the strength of nature. The glossy surface captures the light, highlighting the irregularities of the terracotta.
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.
