Forest sculpture "Sitting Pterodactyl". Once being at an archaeological site, I found a half-rotted oak piece of wood. I really liked it and as a result, this sitting pterodactyl was created. This is the case when nature creates most of the image for us.

Blue make me happy!

Ophelia

Sarah Bernhardt, Ophelia (n.d.). White marble in a wood frame, 70 x 59 cm. Private collection, Normandy, France.

In the realm of art and literature, few scenes are as hauntingly captivating as Ophelia's tragic demise in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Sarah Bernhardt, celebrated for her unparalleled prowess on the stage, extends her artistic expression into the medium of sculpture with her rendition of Ophelia. This piece, a rare surviving work signed by Bernhardt, offers a unique visual exploration of one of literature's most poignant figures.

A Fusion of Art and Tragedy:

Bernhardt's Ophelia is not merely a sculptural representation; it is a narrative frozen in marble. Inspired by Shakespeare's vivid depiction of Ophelia's final moments, Bernhardt captures the essence of the character's tragic end through the medium of high relief. The sculpture portrays Ophelia in a bust form, her head elegantly turned, eyes closed, as if in peaceful resignation to her fate.

The Garland of Flowers:

Adorned with a garland of flowers, the sculpture's Ophelia is enveloped by water that seamlessly merges with her tresses. Bernhardt’s attention to detail is manifest in the intricately carved flowers and the delicate waves of the 'glassy stream', creating a texture that contrasts strikingly with the smooth, bulging form of Ophelia's exposed breast. This duality of texture highlights the sculpture's technical mastery and artistic depth.

A Moment Between Life and Death:

Though depicted at the moment of her death, Bernhardt's Ophelia exudes an undeniable eroticism through her sensuous open-mouthed expression, overt nudity, and languid pose. This portrayal suggests not despair but an ecstatic consummation, presenting death not as a moment of loss but as a profound, albeit tragic, fulfillment. It's a bold interpretation that challenges traditional readings of Ophelia's character, suggesting a deeper, perhaps more complex relationship between the heroine and her fate.

Bernhardt's Artistic Legacy:

Sarah Bernhardt's Ophelia stands as a testament to her multifaceted talent and her ability to traverse the worlds of acting and sculpture with equal finesse. The sculpture serves not only as a memorial to Ophelia's tragic story but also as a reflection of Bernhardt's own interpretive genius and her capacity to imbue marble with the breath of life and emotion.

Reflecting on Ophelia:

In Bernhardt's Ophelia, we are invited to reconsider the narrative of the doomed heroine, seeing her not as a victim of circumstance but as a figure of complex emotional and existential depth. The sculpture asks us to ponder the thin line between life and death, the beauty found in the tragic end, and the eternal resonance of Shakespeare's work through the lens of Bernhardt's sculptural vision.

Your Perspective:

How does Sarah Bernhardt's sculptural interpretation of Ophelia challenge or enrich your understanding of the character? Does this portrayal alter your perception of Ophelia's final moments as an act of despair or an embrace of the inevitable?

“Vivid Blooms in 3D.” This textured painting of flowers uses a thick impasto technique to bring the blooms to life in a three-dimensional way. The vibrant, rich colors and pronounced shadows and highlights create a truly unique and tactile representation of floral beauty. It was a joy to create and I hope it brings joy to those who view it.#3D #3Dflowers #artcommission #artcommissions #art #texturedart #texture #paletteknifepainting #3dflower #sculptureart #OLenaArt #painting #floral #floral art #floralpaintings #smallpainting #floralpainting #artfinderflorals #abstraction #floralartwork #reliefart #reliefpainting #reliefpaintings #texturedart #sculpturepainting #paintingofflowers 🌿🌸🎨🌿🌸🎨 https://fineartamerica.com/featured/vivid-blooms-in-3d-olena-art.html @FineArtAmerica @FineArtAmerica @FineArtAmerica https://www.olenaart.org/workszoom/5487318/vivid-blooms-in-3d#/ @FASO https://www.artfinder.com/products/vivid-blooms-in-3d/preview/#/ @Artfinder

This piece was inspired by the architecture of Church’s and mixed with the hippy sub culture to combine into a juxtaposition of tamed and untamed spiritual belief systems.
