With “La Grand-mère,” Suzanne Larrieu captures the essence of wisdom and experience that mark the face of this iconic figure. This sculpted cardboard bust, subtly painted, expresses all the tenderness, dignity and resilience of a life rich in stories. The slightly worn features, the deep folds of the skin and the soft but nostalgic gaze evoke the memories and emotions of a woman who has overcome trials with grace.
Adorned with a shining necklace and a haughty bearing, “La Grand-mère” embodies a timeless beauty, one that does not depend on appearance but on the depth of the soul. This sculpture is a tribute to ancestors, to those who have shaped generations, carrying family stories on their shoulders. “La Grand-mère” invites each viewer to reconnect with their roots, to celebrate wisdom and to recognize the importance of transmission from one generation to the next. A work full of respect and love, dedicated to these pillars of our personal history.
