About this artwork
This work speaks of a stage of life which well represents everyday life. It is the age of all hopes, of all dreams, everything seems possible and everything is experienced with a wonderfully dangerous intensity. Enthusiasm and hope are intact. It is also the age of disillusionment, we come up against the incomprehension of others, failure (you have to learn to manage it) and uncertainties. In fact, adolescence is a sweet mixture of complexity and…
contrast between intense joy and deeper sorrows, each of these experiences allowing each person to become the Being (that they will be or that they are). Hortension is in the middle of adolescence and is exploring the world, among other things, outside of water. We'll see if he gets through it, but he believes in it...and that's one of the main points. He is dressed in a seductive pink coat and a blinkblink gold dress.

Barbara Greindl, a contemporary Belgian sculptor, boldly explores the absurdity and beauty of the world through works full of humor and commitment.
Barbara grew up in an artistic environment influenced by a mother who restored old paintings and a father with eccentric ideas. After working on masterpieces by Flemish masters, Rubens and Rembrandt among others, she turned to contemporary creation. Today, her bronze sculptures, her murals and her oil paintings subtly question the paradoxes of our society, between surrealism and Belgian humor.
