A sculptural portrait created through the technique of fired ceramics, from the series 'Characters'
This sculpture is a stylized head that resembles both an ancient artifact and a bold modern statement. Executed in muted, earthy tones, it appears to be made of old clay or stone. The surface of the head is covered in cracks, which may be a sign of wear or deliberate destruction, adding additional complexity to the texture.
The bright pink color of the lips contrasts sharply with the main palette and accentuates the look. The shape of the lips is deliberately grotesque and hypertrophied. The rough texture and non-trivial execution of the form create a sense of dissonance and provoke the viewer's attention.
