About the Artwork

Papier mache chest of a mermaid sculpture, for sale for interior display. She is rising from the sea.
Created by the American sculptress Christine Palamidessi who writes about this unique and striking piece……
“Aphrodite is a fish woman, a mermaid embodying male and female shapes. The colourful scene inside the sculpture harkens back to Eve, the Biblical temptress. Adam’s face is seen near the tail looking towards Eve, wondering if she still loves him. The story reflects Aphrodite’s priority to pleasure over duty. Sculpture is mounted on a revolving base.”

Artist Comment

Christine Palamidessi writes...A beautiful 28 year-old Brazilian woman modeled for this signature Aphrodite sculpture. She became my muse, modeling for more than one sculpture and When Heaven tears away from Earth, that is Aphrodite’s moment. The Water parts and she rises up from the sea. Note: the sculpture is displayed on a stem which joins a revolving base, so you can place it on a shelf or corner table and turn the sculpture. I also have a non-revolving base; if that display mode interests you, please contact me.

  • The ArtParkS Guarantee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee of 10 years, subject to the effects of weathering, which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance.

    For instance, bronze, and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze, will acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish pollen, especially under trees, which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing-up liquid.

    Iron and steel will oxidise (rust), and this falls outside our guarantee.

    Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.

  • How Does ArtParkS Ensure Your Protection?

    From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.

    Insurance in transit should be arranged with the artist prior to ordering.

  • Why Choose ArtParkS for Your Purchase?

    When you choose a work of art from ArtParkS, you can be confident that it has been selected by ArtParkS’s curators and will be dispatched directly from the artist’s studio or foundry only after passing their quality control process.

  • How to Purchase from ArtParkS

    You can either speak with or correspond with Peter at ArtParkS before placing an order, or simply click the Buy Nowbutton and follow the instructions, adding the delivery charge unless the artist is offering free delivery.

    Payment can be made by Direct Debit, cheque, credit or debit card, or PayPal, though we try to avoid the latter as we have to pass on their 5% fee to you.

  • Where Can Your Order Be Delivered?

    Your sculpture can be delivered anywhere in the world, provided a delivery vehicle can gain access. For special arrangements, contact Peter at peter@artparks.co.uk or +44(0)1481 235571.
