The sculpture «Carlota» by José Crespo is a heartfelt portrait of his daughter, captured in terracotta. This bust reflects not only the artist’s technical skill but also his deep emotional and paternal connection to his child.
Crafted in terracotta, the sculpture presents Carlota in a moment of innocence and serenity. Her slightly wavy hair is sculpted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing soft curves and natural texture. Her large, expressive eyes gaze with a blend of curiosity and calm, conveying a sense of life and presence.
Carlota’s face is delicately modeled to highlight her youthful features, with rounded cheeks and a slightly parted mouth that suggests a moment of contemplation or conversation. Her expression is serene and peaceful, capturing the purity and simplicity of childhood.
The terracotta’s texture adds warmth and rustic charm to the piece, complementing the fine details with a natural, earthy surface. The sculpture’s base is simple, keeping the focus on Carlota’s face and its expressive details.
«Carlota was three and a half years old at the time.
I created this piece between February and March of 2004 in Mons.»
