Curvililineal Beauty is a maquette (small model for sculpting) done of the female figure. The pose is a contraposto (shoulders and hips at apposing angles) as well as a twist from the rib cage to the hips. Though the sculpture is stationary you can feel the movement of the body in this pose.
There are thousands upon thousands of artists that deal with the human figure. As a sculptor I have developed my own unique style of representing the figure that separates my work from the rest. I like to use realistic proportions of the body while abstracting the details and giving them a plainer quality. The line work created as different plains meet is an intricate and important part of each sculpture. As I abstract various parts of the body I like to keep in mind the anatomical structures under the skin. It is easy to abstract and simplify the figure in order to hide ones lack of anatomical knowledge but my goal is to abstract the figure while showing my understanding of anatomy so that it still feels natural, realistic and beautiful.
