About this artwork
This sculpture takes you far away on a sailboat with its crew. Athletic in appearance, this man is shirtless, facing the wind and the sun. His gaze is on the horizon. The patina of the terracotta is blue / dark gray in color.

« I draw my inspiration from fashion and am inspired by a neckline, a bare shoulder, and a fitted fabric. A mixture of precision and raw art. »
Marianne Ruston is a French sculptor whose works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout France. She is inspired by femininity, softness, and poetry. Ruston's pieces are also influenced by Italian painting, the grace in composure, hair in the wind, and folds of fabric. Her pieces are modeled using chamotte clay. Once the shape is completed, she fires them and then proceeds with the patina. Some of her compositions are translated into bronze.
