Anima White Patinated Terracotta Sculpture

Anima, meaning “soul,” reflects on the part of us that transcends time. This terracotta sculpture by Silvia Garau captures the contrast between light and shadow, with the pure white surface subtly transitioning into deep interior voids. The piece is carefully patinated with mineral finishes and abrasives, giving it a soft, textured feel. Inspired by the Eternal City (Rome), Anima speaks to the timeless connection between the physical and spiritual, embodying Garau’s unique approach to ceramics.
