The sculpture “Woman with Hat in Pink” is a unique terracotta work belonging to the “Marinelle” series, dedicated to women who love the sea so much that they include it in their names. The woman with hat was hand-molded with great care, decorated with engobes and then finished with a delicate wax patina. The sculpture’s matte surface gently reflects light, highlighting the different shades of pink, and allows you to appreciate each curve while enhancing the warm color of the terracotta.
The sculpture depicts a woman sitting with her hat pushed by the wind and a ribbon fluttering. Woman with hat enjoys a moment of tranquility and harmony beside the sea. It should be noted that the wooden base shown in the photos is not included, but the sculpture can easily be placed on any flat surface thanks to its protruding legs.
The choice to leave the red clay exposed in the woman with hat was made to enhance the simple and natural beauty of this material, thus enhancing the beauty of the material itself. Details such as white flip-flops on the feet, black shorts with subtle bangs, and a white necklace contribute to a holiday atmosphere that evokes relaxation, pleasure, and freedom, in tune with the sea breeze caressing the skin.
One notable detail is the presence of a small crack in the work, as shown in the photos. Every single detail of this woman with hat was modeled and hand-painted with extreme care and attention, including the facial features that contribute, along with all the other details, to give expressiveness and personality to the figure.
The sculptures in the “Marinelle” series are all unique works, characterized by carefully crafted details to give each figure a distinctive charm and character.
