About the work :

Maasai Woman is a bronze sculpture by French sculptor Marine de Soos. This figurative sculpture is the bust of a Massaï woman, an ethnic group of pastoralists which settled in Kenya and Northern Tanzania. The woman is adorned with all the traditional attributes which constitute the Massaï aesthetic ideal : her ear lobes are extensively pieced, her head covered in jewels and ornaments, and her head gear is highlighted by a collar, accentuating the beauty of this face with its serene and delicate expression.

Original artwork: signed and numbered sculpture in a limited edition's run of 8 plus 4 artist's proofs. 

Marine de Soos has long sustained an openness to the world which permeates her career and her work. For each sculpture the artist draws her inspiration from her souvenirs, those of African and Asian landscapes. Whatever the initial image, there is always an emotion attached: "I can only work when I am in an emotional state," says the artist. Emotion as sole guide and at the finish line, an invitation on a voyage steeped in a unique poetry which sends the observer into a state of contemplation.
