Porcelain sculpture "Trojan Horse. Mechanic's Collection"

The porcelain sculpture "Trojan Horse" from the collection "Mechanics" is a daring and at the same time intellectual reinterpretation of the ancient symbol. Pure white porcelain, chosen as the base, allows the eye to read the language of geometry without hindrance.: The case is covered with a rhythmic pattern of alternating squares, like a chessboard transferred to a volume. Each square is neatly edged with gold and platinum, creating the illusion of movement — as if the figure is about to come to life, as if it breathes the architectural rhythm inherited from the Bauhaus and Russian constructivism.

The proportions are carefully adjusted, the silhouette is designed in the spirit of modern sculptural sculpture. Stylized gears and gears are embedded on the back of the case, made with filigree precision — references to the complex mechanism hidden in the mold. The elements of the painting are applied manually using precious metals, whose reflections range from muted bronze to glossy silver. The paws with rounded "hooves" are emphasized by ring accents, and the mane and tail are assembled from cylindrical tubes — industrial, almost steam-powered, giving the sculpture the character of a complex mechanism on the verge between a game and a mystery.

This object is addressed to an aesthete who reflects on the eternal — how a form can be turned into a paradox, how philosophy can be hidden in a game symbol. It will perfectly fit into an art deco or loft interior collection with a taste for industrial aesthetics. There is no usual decorativeness here, there is only a clear power of the image — a thing for those who can read ciphers.
