Description of the work: "The Angel" by SO (Sophie Dabet)
In “The Angel,” Sophie Dabet, under her artistic pseudonym SO, creates a sculpture that evokes the enigmatic beauty of sea creatures while exploring deeper themes of transcendence and mystery. The piece, both pared-down and poetic, seems to capture an angelfish in mid-air, floating between two worlds, halfway between the real and the spiritual.
The sculpture is executed with great finesse, each line and curve expertly worked to create a form that seems to defy gravity. The subtly nuanced patina of the surface reinforces the impression of fluidity, as if the angelfish were about to move gently in invisible water. The base of the work, representing rounded and soft shapes like clouds or water bubbles, adds to this feeling of lightness, offering an interesting contrast with the more defined form of the creature.
“The Angel” transcends the simple animal representation to become a visual metaphor for spiritual elevation, innocence and grace. SO manages to capture the essence of nature while infusing his work with a contemporary sensibility. This sculpture invites the viewer to a quiet contemplation, to an inner journey where the beauty of the natural world mixes with the mysteries of the imagination.
Ideal for a space that values contemporary art and spiritual reflection, “The Angel” is a work that will appeal to art lovers and collectors seeking pieces that are both aesthetically captivating and deeply meaningful. This sculpture will enrich any environment with its serene and inspiring presence, reminding those who contemplate it of the timeless beauty of natural forms and the endless wonder of the underwater world.
