Stoic Nymph

About this work

In this sculpturepiece I explored personal themes of inner conflict, and how I perceive myself. It references ‘masking’ - ‘the process of intentionally, or unintentionally, hiding aspects of yourself to avoid harm’ - a term heard around me for much of my life. It shows a woman who seems calm and content, yet her eyes act as a pathway to her inner thoughts, where a melancholy is echoed. Stoic Nymph (title of the sculpture) takes modern inspiration from sculptures by Coderch and Malavia, as well as also drawing from mythological references, such as the painting The Lament for Icarus – Death Wings Surrounded by Nymphs by Draper Repero. The references can be seen in the idealised gentle faces of the nymphs, and their delicacy that they possess.

About the artist

I am a young artist based between Manchester, London and Somerset. I work in a plethora of mediums but in recent years I have been sculpting in clay. I cast my sculptures in a variety of mediums, from bronze, to Carrera marble resin. I work predominantly figuratively, and aim to encourage thought and discussion through my pieces, where one is able to see themselves through my work, as well as myself I have created through its message.
