"Sensual Sleep" is a striking sculpture illustrating the exquisite expression of femininity in a state of serene repose. The sculpture portrays a woman reclining on a chaise longue, every line and angle of her body encompassing pure sensuality and blissful tranquillity.
The scene conjures the woman's prominent left arm, lifted in ethereal grace, reclining comfortably behind her head, her hand elegantly engaged in a tender touch to her richly flowing hair. This subtle interaction provides an intimate moment within the larger sculpture, suggesting comfort, relaxation, and nonchalance.
Her face, poised and rested, tilts gently to the right, a hush of glorious quiet on her features as her eyes remain closed, lost in another world. The closed eyes lend a dreamy aura, emphasising the nuance of a peaceful and sensual sleep, moving viewers to theories of what peaceful dreams she might be visualizing.
Her right arm, folded upwards leads to her right hand resting gently on her right shoulder, hinting at her softness and vulnerability. The lower part of her body, turned gracefully towards the left, shows off her right thigh casually cradling the left. Her right foot modestly placed below her left ankle and left foot playfully slipping off the chaise, completes the engaging pose.
"Sensual Sleep" is an embodiment of intimate solitary moments, capturing a timeless snapshot of tranquil sensuality. In every arch, every sweep and curved line of her body lingers a seductive allure, open yet intimate, setting free a reverie that flows gently, like the woman herself.
The piece was sculpted in a 10-week life sculpting class. This is the original in baked white clay. The piece is available in stone & marble resin.
