Face 5 (The Radiant Muse) Paint On Fiberglass Figurative Sculpture

This glossy, saffron-hued head reads like a modern reliquary of identity—at once toy-like in its lacquered perfection and quietly reverent in its simplified, iconic facial planes. The sculpture’s volume is choreographed through looping curls and rounded masses that fold back on themselves, turning ornament into architecture and making the viewer circle as if completing a thought. Light skates across the surface in liquid highlights, amplifying a sense of cultivated façade, while the warm monochrome suggests optimism edged with artificiality—an image of selfhood polished into permanence. In its calm, almost ceremonial expression, the work proposes a tender tension between intimacy and display, as though the inner life has been translated into a luminous shell.
