Paloma Varga Weisz

Dreigesichtfrau

2005

A female figure rendered in glazed plaster emerges with an uncanny, dreamlike presence, her form defined by three distinct faces that suggest multiplicity of identity and perception. Paloma Varga Weisz's sculptural practice draws on folk art traditions and fairy-tale imagery, imbuing the work with a sense of ancient myth and psychological depth. The smooth, luminous glaze of the plaster surface lends the piece an eerie, almost otherworldly quality, hovering between the sacred and the strange.
