“Blue Girl”, 2023
Ielizaveta Portnova
"This work is one of the first inspired works that I made after leaving Ukraine. I first made a plaster mold in Majorca. I deliberately leave the seams visible so that the seasoned observer can imagine or even retrace the creative process. Usually, I use the mold to create more complex decomposed compositions but, in creating this work, I wanted the initial model to remain in history in its raw form . I tried to put sun, sea and peace in this sculpture. During firing, the porcelain was deformed. The challenge was to maintain the balance of the form."
