Description from the seller
Head of Aphrodite – Sculpture in wax and plaster
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Description of the object:
This sculpture depicts Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and harmony, here reinterpreted in an essential and timeless form.
The work is made of hand-molded wax, with an internal core of plaster, giving it an astonishing solidity and delicacy at the same time. The surface is treated with ivory-colored pigmentation, which gives the sculpture a resin-like appearance, both visually and to the touch.
The final effect evokes archaeological finds restored by time, but with a contemporary sensibility.
This Aphrodite head is not a copy, but an original piece, unique in its kind, created by a contemporary artist who works on the border between myth and matter.
