My sculpture is inspired by the Venus of Willendorf but serves as a distinct interpretation rather than a direct replica. Like the original, which dates back to around 28,000–25,000 BCE and emphasizes exaggerated features associated with fertility, my piece also features large breasts and a rounded belly. The figure lacks facial details, which may suggest a focus on the body rather than individual identity. Believed to be a symbol of fertility or a mother goddess, the Venus of Willendorf is one of the most famous examples of prehistoric art and offers valuable insights into the culture and beliefs of early humans.
Crafted from clay and fired in a kiln, my sculpture possesses a unique texture and form. After firing, I applied acrylic and oil paint to enhance the surface and add depth. This combination allows my figurine to honor the symbolic significance of the original while reflecting my personal artistic vision.
This piece is crafted from a mold and fired at a temperature of 1,020 degrees Celsius. It is made of unglazed ceramic, allowing the natural texture of the clay to be highlighted. The surface is painted with acrylic and oil paints, which not only add vibrancy but also enhance the visual depth of the sculpture. This combination of techniques contributes to the unique aesthetic of the piece, showcasing both the craftsmanship involved and the artistic vision behind it.
