Standing at an impressive 6 feet 7 inches tall, this contemporary bronze sculpture pays homage to the timeless grace of the Venus de Milo, while reinterpreting her beauty through a modern artistic lens.
Unlike the original, which was carved in marble, this version was first sculpted in clay and later cast in bronze, allowing for both strength and subtle warmth in the material’s depth. The artist infused the classical pose with a distinctly modern sensibility—gentle shifts in proportion, nuanced gestures, and a refined surface treatment that bridges antiquity and modernity.
To evoke the purity and luminosity of marble, the surface was finished using Bismooth patina techniques, producing a soft white sheen that mirrors the delicate luster of the original Greek masterpiece while retaining the tactile vitality of bronze.
The sculpture was unveiled at a major exhibition, where nearly two hundred patrons attended its debut before it was delivered to its commissioning collector. The piece stands as both a tribute to classical form and a celebration of contemporary artistry, embodying timeless elegance reimagined through a modern creator’s touch.
