Heavenly Jam Session (2023) Escultura por Olga Sviridova

This ceramic composition presents a vibrant and unusual interpretation of a
heavenly orchestra, crafted in a pop art style with elements of grotesque. The
focal point is five angelic beings, each playing a musical instrument. Their
expressive faces and colorful hairstyles give the sculpture a playful and slightly
ironic character.
The angels are dressed in light, loose garments with gold and black accents,
adding both celestial grandeur and earthly familiarity. Their wings, though stylized,
emphasize their heavenly origins, while the choice of musical instruments—
trumpet, saxophone, violin, and French horn—adds dynamism and energy to the
scene. Each figure has its own individuality, making the sculpture not just a
decorative piece but a whole story full of humor and imagination.
This work may evoke associations with modern interpretations of angelic images
that, while remaining spiritual, are mixed with elements of mass culture and irony.
The figurine is perfect for those who appreciate bright and unusual works of art,
filled with symbolism and contemporary references.
