“This unique medium sized sculpture depicts a standing Minotaur figure, created in black clay with a heavily textured, volcanic surface. The figure combines a human torso with a bull’s head, featuring short, curved horns and a downward tilt of the head. The posture is still and grounded, with arms held close to the body, creating a sense of quiet weight and contained presence.

The lower section expands into an irregular, organic base that merges with the figure itself. It’s pitted texture is reminiscent of cooled lava or volcanic rock—introduces earthy tones that break through the darker surface, suggesting a form shaped by natural forces.

 

The upper body retains recognisable anatomy, while the lower half dissolves into texture, blurring the boundary between figure and landscape. Rather than expressing aggression, this Minotaur turns inward, his averted gaze conveying introspection. The work reflects on the primal, instinctive aspects of human nature, presenting the figure as an embodiment of something ancient, elemental, and enduring.”
