Ceramic Sculpture Emilia 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. Emilia in as artwork representing sloth in the Moor’s series of heads titled “The Seven Deadly Sins.” Emilia is an artwork that embodies beauty and genius, drawing inspiration from Amy Winehouse and conveying the delicacy and fragility of this artist in a harmonious fusion of traditional and contemporary elements. The traditional turban of the Moorish Sicilian heads seamlessly blends with the integrated headphones, symbols of passion and soul. Her figure exudes great sensuality, and her expression conveys deep emotions. The traditional colors of the turban are modified to present a blues- inspired view of the world, creating an atmosphere that strengthens the aura of mystery. Emilia is both an artist and a work of art herself, adorned with tattoos that represent her history and tributes, such as the one to her father. She enchants with a combination of beauty, genius, and vulnerability, inviting reflection on the power of music to express profound emotions while celebrating delicacy and fragility.
