This ocean wave sculpture art is performed in mixed media technique using а real seashell and different types of polymer and air-dry clay. Every tiniest detail is hand-sculpted, not casted. This sculpture, born from the depths of the ocean’s allure, is a testament to its rhythmic waves, vibrant marine life, and hidden stories. This compelling narrative of the ocean, which I have focused on, not only celebrates its dynamic beauty but also carries an important message: the urgent need for its preservation amidst threats like deep sea mining and the endangerment of seagrass habitats. Through this sculpture, may we not only appreciate the ocean’s artistry but also rally for its protection.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Clay

Sculpture technique using as a raw material a malleable soil that can have different colors.

Resin

Sculpture technique using a polymer product (natural, artificial or synthetic) to make a sculpture.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Sculpture

Sculpture is an artistic activity which consists of designing and producing shapes in volume, in relief, either in the round (statuary), in high relief, in low relief, by modeling, by direct carving, by welding or assembly. The term sculpture also designates the object resulting from this activity.
