A beautiful nude by Eja Siepman van den Berg from 2017.
The work is made of resin and signed and numbered on the bottom.
Resin consists of ground stone (eg granite, marble, soapstone) which is mixed with a liquid synthetic resin. By mixing the stone with the synthetic resin, a pourable mixture is created. This mixture is poured into a rubber mold of, for example, a statue. After curing, the image is removed from the mold. The sharp protrusions and edges of the image are removed, it is sanded in several steps and then polished. After this, the sculpture is painted by hand, dried and polished again. The result is an image that is as hard and strong as stone and feels that way.
