Jaime Carvalho - Deep Blues

Immerse yourself in the poignant narrative of “Deep Blues” Ceramic and Resin Sculpture, a thought-provoking masterpiece by visionary artist Jaime Carvalho. Crafted from brown ceramic and infused with blue acrylic resin, this sculpture resonates with the stories of lost souls seeking refuge across the sea.

The sculpture’s ceramic head, adorned with African traits, symbolizes the lives lost at sea, searching for a brighter future. A true marvel of artistry, the head is meticulously assembled like a puzzle, each piece interlocked with layers of resin. This technique not only accentuates the sculpture’s form but also serves as a powerful metaphor for the fragmented narratives of those lost in the depths.

Jaime’s sentiment behind “Deep Blues” finds expression in every detail. The interior, painted in shades of blue, is a poignant homage to the deep blue ocean that holds untold stories. The head’s positioning evokes an ancient amphora, a vessel often retrieved from the sands after shipwrecks, now transformed to embody the tragedy of lives abandoned to the sea.

Titled “Deep Blues,” this sculpture serves as a mournful elegy for lives lost, a silent symphony of sorrow and hope. It confronts the viewer with the harsh realities faced by refugees, urging us to remember and reflect on the depths of human suffering.

Standing as a testament to artistic integrity, “Deep Blues” comprises several ceramic parts meticulously connected with resin and fibreglass. Its base, a fusion of acrylic glass and sand, adds a tactile layer to the experience. With dimensions of 90x50x60 inches, this sculpture invites you to explore its emotional depth and contemplate the stories it carries.
