Detailed description

Garden sculpture "Aphrodite large", bronze

The name of the goddess of love and beauty translates as "the foam-born", for, in Greek mythology, she emerges from the water. The blue patina on Bodirsky's Aphrodite refers to this, regardless of whether she finds her place in the garden pond or on solid ground.

Edition in bronze, cast using the Lost-Wax-Process, chiselled and patinated by hand. Limited edition of 49 copies, numbered and signed. Size 50 x 34 x 41 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 19 kg.

About Maria-Luise Bodirsky

Born in 1952, sculptor and ceramist

It is the basic elements of earth, water, fire and air that the sculptor and ceramist Maria-Luise Bodirsky, born in 1952, combines in her sculptures and the working process. Clay is her elementary artistic medium when capturing, tracing and depicting the inner and outer conditions of her figures.

Bodirsky draws inspiration for her archaic-looking figures from the early human history such as ancient Egyptian culture, Greek mythology and the Old Testament, or modern literature for example of Pablo Neruda.
