The Sleeping Ladies

The Sleeping Ladies series draws inspiration from a Neolithic figure discovered in Malta — a symbolic representation of Mother Earth. These ancient forms, carved thousands of years ago, embody fertility, protection, and the deep cycles of life.

In her interpretation, ArtCe translates this archetype into soft, sculptural silhouettes resting in quiet repose. Using warm, earthy palettes and layered textures, each work becomes a meditation on rest as strength, stillness as resilience, and the timeless bond between humanity and nature. Seashells, curves, and organic shapes echo the sheltering presence of the earth itself, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the enduring spirit of creation.
