Stylish Angel (2024) Tablo Olga Sviridova tarafından

The sculpture represents a stylized figure of an angel. It has a round, smiling face
with expressive eyes. Small wings are visible behind its back. The sculpture
creates an atmosphere of lightness and even a touch of playfulness, presenting a
celestial being in the context of earthly joys and luxury.
The sculpture retains elements of pop art and art deco, and it can also be
classified as modern religious or spiritual sculpture with a hint of irony. This
interpretation of the angel is reminiscent of contemporary artists who reinterpret
religious images within the context of mass culture. It may evoke associations with
the works of artists like Mark Kostabi or Romero Britto, known for their vibrant,
pop-art interpretations of classical themes.
The image of the angel is traditionally associated with a divine messenger,
protector, or guardian. However, in this interpretation, the angel is depicted in a
rather unusual light, with attributes of earthly pleasures (a glass) and wealth (a
purse, gold jewelry). This may symbolize the connection between the heavenly
and the earthly, the spiritual and the material.
