Her noble gaze is immediately striking. She observes, she judges. She is undeniably a sovereign, the powerful sovereign of a distant people. Her attitude suggests authority. The sculpture was modeled in clay, but the patina gives the impression that it was carved from a block of stone. The hair, a sculpture in its own right, balances the volume and adds a dynamic element.
Eric Vanel's Sovereign is a sculpture that exudes quiet authority, capturing the dignity and strength of a commanding female figure. Carved with precision that highlights every curve and angle of the face, this resin work, with a golden-brown patina, embodies the inner power of a timeless queen.
The face, turned slightly upward, appears to gaze into the distance, perhaps contemplating the future or reflecting on past challenges. The features are both soft and resolute, revealing a wisdom acquired over time. The balance between the solid, angular base and the fine details of the face creates a visual harmony, reinforcing the idea of stability and sovereignty.
The delicately sculpted earrings add a touch of subtle elegance, recalling royal adornments without excessive ostentation. Sovereign is more than just a bust; it is a symbol of resilience and leadership, a work that inspires respect and admiration. It will find its place in any space seeking to introduce a strong and refined presence, a true centerpiece for any contemporary art collector.
