Mermaid & Birds by Quentin Clemence, Bronze, Unique, 200cm high by 100cm wide by 70cm deep, Animals, Birds, Fantasy, Female, Figurative, Fish, Nature, People, Water Creatures sculpture
This piece by Quentin Clemence is a unique bronze sculpture. The work shows a mermaid with a bird perched gracefully on her hand. Clemence blends figurative realism with abstraction, creating a piece that feels both natural and stylised.
The mermaid rises from a tall plinth at the base of her tail. From there, her body curves smoothly, guiding the eye upward. Her head turns to the side, and she gazes at the bird. In response, the bird faces her, wings fully extended. This mutual attention creates a sense of dialogue and balance. The interaction suggests a quiet moment of connection, frozen in time.
Light plays across the polished bronze, accentuating the flowing curves of the mermaid’s tail and body. Meanwhile, the simplified forms of her torso and arms keep the focus on gesture and movement rather than strict detail. As the eye follows the arc from tail to hand to the bird, the sculpture unfolds in a continuous, elegant rhythm.
The abstracted elements contrast beautifully with the figurative ones, giving the piece both visual interest and emotional depth. Together, the mermaid and bird evoke grace, poise, and attentive presence. Through careful shaping and flowing lines, Clemence captures a fleeting encounter and turns it into timeless sculptural poetry.
Mermaid & Birds celebrates form, interaction, and harmony. It rewards close inspection as well as distance, inviting viewers to follow the curves and connections that define the piece.
