“Sirena” by Danu
“Sirena” is a striking modern sculpture by Danu. Crafted from stove-enamelled heavy plate steel, the piece stands 120 cm tall. The material is solid and durable. As a result, it gives the sculpture both strength and elegance. Its smooth surface adds a refined, contemporary touch. Additionally, the sculpture is signed and numbered 4 of 80.
The work presents the silhouette of a mermaid. Her form is sleek and stylized. Though minimalist, she is rich in expression. The mermaid is arching her back slightly and gently lifting her hair. Viewers are drawn in. They wonder what she is thinking. They imagine the calm of the sea just beyond the surface.
Moreover, her pose feels natural and effortless. Her curves flow like water. Even in stillness, the figure seems to move. There is grace in her quiet stance. There is power in her calm presence.
The black enamel coating further enhances her impact. It adds depth, contrast, and sophistication. While it reflects just enough light to define her shape, the matte surface softens this effect. In doing so, it emphasizes shadow and contour. Furthermore, the finish protects the steel. It resists weather and wear. Therefore, “Sirena” is ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. Whether in a garden, courtyard, or modern interior, she adapts with ease.
In addition, the sculpture is freestanding and open. It invites viewers to explore her from every angle. With each step, her silhouette shifts. Light and shadow move across her surface. Her open spaces let light pass through. As a result, the sculpture seems to breathe with its surroundings.
Danu skilfully brings classical themes into the present. He works with clean lines and enduring materials. Through this balance, he blends myth with modernity. With “Sirena,” he reimagines the mermaid. She is not a fantasy figure. Instead, she becomes a symbol. A presence of reflection, elegance, and inner strength. She speaks softly, yet with power. Ultimately, she is timeless.
