ARTWORK IN CONTEST

Muse, 2024

SCULPTURE - Aluminium casting on clay and plaster casts
47 x 117 x 25 cm

With a faceless female figure touching strings without support, Achilles Vasileiou in Muse seems to be willing to interpret, with a metaphorical perception between myth and fantasy, the melody of an imaginary stringed instrument, vaguely reminiscent of a harp, free to vibrate in the space of the soul.
