Proud Mother

Acclaimed Zimbabwean artist Joe Mutasa hand-carved this stunning masterpiece. The Proud Mother Shona Sculpturebeautifully honors the deep bonds of family, maternal love, and generation lines. Mutasa used premium springstone to bring this incredible figurative scene to life. The artwork features a mother standing tall with her child positioned protectively in front of her. It perfectly shows a sense of pride, strength, and quiet dignity.

Exquisite Textures by Joe Mutasa

Joe Mutasa shows an outstanding ability to create a contrast of textures in solid stone. Springstone is a very dense, hard material that polishes to a rich, dark shine. In the Proud Mother Shona Sculpture, Mutasa polishes the faces and elongated necks to a mirror-like finish. This glossy black surface reflects light beautifully and highlights the fine facial features.

In contrast, Mutasa leaves the clothing and hair with a beautiful matte grey texture. The mother’s hair features fine, chiseled lines that run back in elegant rows. Their matching textured garments feature clean, sharp collars. This clever combination of smooth and raw stone creates a strong visual impact. The sculpture draws the eye immediately in any setting.

This artwork stands an impressive 57 inches tall. Its vertical silhouette makes it a perfect focal point. Place it along a shaded garden pathway or against vibrant tropical palm trees. It also adds a sophisticated, contemporary touch to a large home entryway or gallery space.
