Awake by Ann Vrielinck, Bronze , Metal, Edition of 49, 224cm high by 110cm wide by 58cm deep

Awake by Ann Vrielinck commands attention through its scale and presence. Rising to 224 cm, this bronze sculpture presents a human figure caught in the simple yet profound act of stretching. The body leans upward and outward, capturing the energy of awakening, renewal, and the quiet determination that lies between rest and action.

Vrielinck works with an impressionistic language of form. She does not chase precise detail but instead emphasizes movement, gesture, and the rhythm of the body. The elongated proportions and softened contours encourage viewers to focus on the emotion within the pose rather than on facial identity. Light plays across the textured surface, shifting with every angle and breathing vitality into the figure.

The sculpture belongs to a limited edition of 49, making each cast a rare opportunity to collect Vrielinck’s vision. At over two meters tall, Awake creates a striking focal point in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its modern figurative style bridges intimacy and monumentality, allowing it to resonate equally in private collections, gardens, and public spaces.

Vrielinck celebrates the universality of the human body. Through Awake, she distils a fleeting everyday action into a lasting form of expression. The result radiates strength, grace, and a timeless sense of human presence.
