Ria (2024) 雕塑 由 Beata Belanszky-Demko

ntroducing an original ceramic sculpture, meticulously fired twice, carefully glazed, and adorned with oil paint. Limited to a maximum of eight pieces, this is the first piece: "Ria."

Ria is a young artist whom I met last year - 2023 - at an art camp in Hungary. She consistently wore torn black clothing and donned intense makeup, which initially struck me as overwhelming. As I tend to find it challenging to form new friendships, I initially struggled to connect with her, given her stark contrast to myself and my friends. However, after spending a few days with her, I came to realize that her outward appearance was merely a façade. Deep down, she remains a 17-year-old young lady who radiates joy at the sight of a water lily on a lake. Interestingly, she chose to paint water lilies rather than the morbid subjects one might expect based on her attire. 😊

I decided to sculpt her in a manner that captures the essence of her dreamlike state and her unique style, while focusing solely on her portrait. My hope is that I have successfully conveyed the essence of Ria. Enjoy!

The dimensions of this captivating sculpture are 46 x 32 x 23 cm, making it a distinctive and thought-provoking addition to any art collection.
