Description

“Pensée” draws on the dual meaning of the French word pensée, which means “thought” and pansies in bloom. A lizard traverses a barren desert while carrying seashells from which pansies emerge, creating a surreal encounter between life and desolation. The work reflects on environmental degradation, conflict, and the increasing fragility of the world around us, while inviting consideration of humanity’s responsibility for the future it is creating. Blending surrealism, natural forms, and symbolic storytelling, this original sculpture serves as both a contemplative artwork and a striking statement piece for collectors of contemporary art and unusual objects.

Production Method

Every detail in this piece, petal or sepal, is sculpted from scratch from various materials, such as polymer and air-dry clays, and others, and then meticulously hand-painted for a lifelike finish. Each creation encapsulates the inspiring beauty of nature, striking a perfect balance between botanical accuracy and artistic imagination.

Care Instructions

Polymer and air-dry clay items are thin but durable and flexible. Although, there are a few tips for your consideration:
– Use a dry brush or slightly wet napkin to clean an item.
– Avoid long contact with water. If your flower gets wet, let it dry immediately to restore its properties. You can use a hairdryer, but only cold air is suitable. If your product has lost shape, heat it with a hair dryer for a few seconds, give it the required shape, and then fix it with cold air.
– These items become fragile if temperatures below 0°C (32°F). You should be gentler when using them. After being at low temperatures, give your flowers 15-20 minutes in the room to
restore their flexibility.
– It is recommended that jewelry or accessories be stored in separate boxes.
– Do not put your items under pressure. Do not burn, scratch, or eat.
