"Masked Muses": The Poetic Elegance of Bérénice Fourmy Enhanced by Wood and Gold
With her sculpture titled "Masked Muses", French artist Bérénice Fourmy invites us into a world of intimacy, dreams, and inner theater. Measuring 78 x 50 x 11 cm, this contemporary piece features three delicate feminine figures, crafted in patinated clay, gracefully seated on an oak barrel stave—a subtle nod to wine-making tradition and noble craftsmanship.
The characters, seated side by side, wear masks covered in gold leaf, adding both radiance and mystery to the composition. Each mask is unique, suggesting a hidden identity, a fantasized persona, or a theatrical role. One figure wears airy feathers, another a sun-shaped crown, while the third wears a turban and holds a mask in her hand—each one a poetic variation on the themes of identity, play, and femininity.
A Work of Theater and Intimate Connection
"Masked Muses" evokes a suspended moment, a silent conversation between three kindred spirits. The postures, the calm expressions, and the presence of aged wood give the sculpture a grounded yet tender quality. The contrast between the raw oak and the refined faces creates a touching harmony. This is a piece that suggests rather than tells, leaving space for the viewer’s imagination.
Through her use of gold leaf, Bérénice Fourmy elevates the subtle expression of her figures, bringing light and sacredness to an otherwise quiet scene. The choice of the oak stave connects the muses to the earth, tradition, and the passage of time—a bridge between materiality and emotion.
