PRIMATES BRAZZA VASE GLOSSY WHITE CERAMIC WITH METAL DETAILS

The PRIMATES BRAZZA VASE GLOSSY WHITE CERAMIC WITH METAL DETAILS by Elena Salmistraro presents the same arresting mandrill portrait in an entirely different chromatic register — bolder, more saturated, and visually louder than its greyhound counterpart, with a palette drawn directly from the real animal’s spectacural facial colouring.

The oval body is finished in bright glossy white, clean and luminous against which every surface detail registers with maximum impact. The face radiates outward from a smooth white nose and muzzle — gold-toned at the upper lip — flanked by dramatically textured raised-dot cheek pads in deep cobalt blue and vivid crimson red, their concentric dot patterns fanning outward like the plumage of a tropical bird. Above, an amber-orange ribbed brow arc — deeply ridged, warm, and organic — curves beneath a jet-black dotted crown band finished with a chrome-silver glaze that catches light with a metallic precision the matte black cannot fully contain.

The eyes are dark-glazed ovals with white pupils — alert, intelligent, neither hostile nor entirely at ease. Below the muzzle, a large sculpted chin-beard tapers downward in rich copper metallic glaze, its surface folded and rippled to suggest the genuine texture of primate fur.

Where the PRIMATES BRAZZA VASE GLOSSY WHITE CERAMIC WITH METAL DETAILS reads as warm and composed, this white edition is energetic and confrontational — the mandrill at full chromatic display rather than in repose. A face vase sculpture that transforms any shelf into a conversation.
