Marianne

“Marianne” is a celebration of voluptuousness and self-assurance, capturing the beauty of a woman asserting herself in her fullness. Sculpted with exquisite attention to detail, this work by Marie Saksik embodies femininity in its freest and boldest essence. Marianne’s kneeling posture, one arm resting on her thigh while the other is extended in a gesture of welcome or reflection, speaks to us of contemplation, inner power and grace.

The sculpture’s generous curves and smooth texture reveal a subtle play of light and shadow, highlighting every detail of the female form. Marianne’s face, turned slightly to the side, suggests a quiet introspection, as if she were carrying within her an unspoken secret or ancestral wisdom. Her soft yet determined expression adds a layer of complexity to the work, capturing attention and provoking an emotional connection with the viewer.

The influence of the Apsaras, these graceful mythical figures, is found in the fluid and harmonious lines of "Marianne", symbol of femininity and freedom. This sculpture is an invitation to embrace the natural and authentic beauty of the female body, far from stereotypes and conventions.
