Ceramic Sculpture Angela Head by Vanessa Semaino

About the Item

The “Surolù” art works - this is artistic identity chosen by Vanessa Semaino - arise from the artist 's need to represent women’s condition today, particularly in their emotional states that confer their unique identities. These precious ceramic sculptures, entirely handcrafted and decorated, represent female Moor’s heads. They were conceived as an expression of an introspective journey that relates Vanessa’s Sicilian origins and to her professional experience in the fashion stylistic field. The artist introduces, for the first time, the repeated use of sociological themes of current relevance through a visually immediate language, represented in her art works with a contemporary pop aesthetic. Angela in as artwork representing sloth in the Moor’sseries of headstitled “The Seven Deadly Sins.” Angela is a name derived from Greek, meaning “messenger,” and Angela’s message is a plea for love and attention. She is a young woman who chews gum and playfully blows up a balloon, creating a delightful and lighthearted contrastto the seriousness conveyed by her oversized nerd glasses. Her youth is further highlighted by transforming the classic turban, traditionally worn by the Moor’s Sicilian heads, into a cap adorned with the colors and patterns reminiscent of a famous Versace shirt print. This detail accentuates her vivacity and youthful energy. The tattoos Angela adorns her body with are clear expressions of her need for love and self-confidence. Each tattoo narrates a story, a lived experience, and together they form a mosaic of emotions and desires. Her eccentric and vibrant appearance serves as a call for attention, inviting others to look beyond mere appearances and recognize the fragility and beauty that lies within every young person.
