Powerful figurative portrait (2025) Original Mixed-media Sculpture by Alina Lobanova

Blending contemporary wall sculpture with mixed media art, this piece combines air-dry clay, beads, and metal wire to create a powerful figurative portrait rooted in sacred aesthetics. The work invites reflection on identity, emotion, and transformation through subtle religious symbolism and tactile detail.

From the “I Will Reveal Myself” series, the candle’s light gently illuminates the painted face — a symbol of the outer self — while casting a soft shadow that suggests inner contradictions, memories, and emotional depth.

Inspired by the iconography of the Virgin Mary, this piece reinterprets spiritual imagery as a symbol of wholeness — a coexistence of vulnerability and strength, light and shadow.

This is not a performance, but a moment of quiet honesty — an intimate encounter with the hidden self.

The artwork is titled on the back and signed.
