“She”, 2020
Ielizaveta PortnovaThe artist:
" I only have a few works in this style. This one gave rise to a series of busts, but it remains the only one where the body is represented whole. We find in this creation the same lines as those of the Cuman statues (or "Polovtsy statues") Cuman statues are stone sculptures dating from the Neolithic period found in present-day Ukraine. "She" is made of clay and not stone, but using slips and. special glazes, I manage to give the illusion that the material is natural stone ."
