About this artwork
- Mother Mary with child protected bij melted toy soldiers.
As a lover and visitor of many antique markets and old churches around the world I am always intrigued by the statues of Mother Mary. The candles in the churches at the feet of Mary and the battered statues in the markets, touch me. She is a saint but also a mother who loves all of mankind. Near and touchable. Beloved and never feared.
What’s not to love about her even for atheists? And… who wouldn’t fight for her?

« Art is not about beauty, art is not about pleasing and art is not there to save the world. Art is about exploring the world, giving it a new context. »
Ralph Posset is a painter and sculptor based in the Netherlands where his pieces have been featured in numerous solo exhibitions. Exploring the borders of art has always intrigued him, so he began to exhibit his pieces outside of museums. Absurdism and turning things around are Posset's specialties, as he endeavors to make people think about his art and the world around them. He would rather that viewers dislike his work than be indifferent about it.
