Tender Moment by Lucknos Chingwaru, Springstone,Unique, 85cm high, 65cm wide, 22cm deep, Children, Family, Female, Figurative, Baby, Mother, Child, Love, Sculpture
This piece by Lucknos Chingwaru is a unique Shona sculpture carved from springstone.The piece captures a touching scene between a mother and her child. The sculpture shows the bust of a mother, her arms gently wrapping around her baby to form a circular, protective embrace.
Her head tilts downward as she gazes at the infant in her arms. This simple gesture conveys warmth, care, and deep emotional connection. Her hair, tied back and flowing behind her, adds a sense of quiet movement, contrasting with the stillness of the embrace.
Chingwaru uses the smooth, dark surface of springstone to highlight form and feeling. The mother’s arms curve gracefully, guiding the viewer’s eye around the sculpture in a continuous loop. Polished areas shine softly, while subtle textures in the hair and facial features add detail and depth.
Despite its abstraction, the emotion is unmistakable. The circular composition symbolizes unity, protection, and love without end. Every line and curve serves the story, of motherhood, tenderness, and eternal bond.
Tender Moment is both intimate and strong. It reflects the heart of Shona sculpture: finding universal emotion in stone. Chingwaru’s work invites quiet reflection and celebrates the timeless beauty of care and connection.
