Niki de Saint Phalle

Serpent et déesses

A vibrant and monumental mosaic sculpture by Niki de Saint Phalle, *Serpent et déesses* brings together mirror glass and painted ceramic in an explosion of color and pattern. The work features goddess figures and a sinuous serpent rendered in Saint Phalle's signature bold, joyful aesthetic, with reflective mosaic surfaces that catch and scatter light. Rooted in her exploration of feminine power and mythology, the piece embodies the artist's lifelong celebration of the sacred, the playful, and the transformative.
