Grégoire Devin, known for his expressive and evocative sculptures, presents Girl With Hoop Earrings, a striking new ceramic piece that captures the essence of independence, beauty, and Mediterranean spirit. Inspired by the art of Jean Cocteau, Devin blends bold lines and poetic minimalism to create a work that is both powerful and delicate.
 
This sculpture, painted in acrylic with oil pastel, presents a bold and captivating contrast. Her face, painted in deep black, serves as a canvas for delicate white ink lines that define her features with finesse. Her lips, painted in a vivid red, command attention, evoking both sensuality and strength. The eyes, an intense deep blue, add a mesmerizing depth, drawing the viewer into her world.
 
A defining element of the piece is her adornment—two large gold leaf hoop earrings that symbolize power and timeless elegance. They shimmer against the dark tones of her face, reinforcing her presence as a figure of allure and self-assurance.
 
At the base of the sculpture, the word Freedom is inscribed in large pastel strokes, a powerful reminder of her autonomy and the strength of her spirit. On her back, the words Deep Blue echo the depth of her gaze and the boundless nature of the Mediterranean, a reference to the world she belongs to.
 
With Girl With Hoop Earrings, Grégoire Devin celebrates the Mediterranean woman—a woman of charm, determination, and absolute freedom. She stands as a testament to resilience and self-expression, embodying the vibrant, untamed beauty of the world she inhabits.
