Mixed-media circular wall sculpture in foam clay and acrylic on wood exploring a blue palette, bas-relief texture and miniature figures. This circular mixed-media wall sculpture combines hand-modelled foam clay bas-relief with layered acrylic pigment and enamel highlights to produce a deeply textured, blue palette surface that reads as both painting and small-scale sculpture. The work is executed on a round fir wood panel and integrates modeled clay craters and planet forms, painted miniature figures and glossy enamel accents, a combination that positions the piece within contemporary sculptural painting and wall sculpture practice. Key discovery terms: foam clay, acrylic on wood, mixed-media wall sculpture, circular relief, bas-relief, blue palette. Materials and technique are central to the work’s presence: hand-modelled foam clay sculpted into low relief over a circular fir wood support; successive acrylic washes and glazes to develop chromatic depth in the blues; enamel and varnish for reflective highlights; separately formed clay spheres and tiny hand-painted figures affixed to the surface. The surface treatment alternates between matte lunar greys and saturated ultramarine to evoke a dialogue between sky and sea. The artist’s use of bas-relief and miniature figures creates a narrative scale shift that invites close inspection, emphasizing the sculptural facture while maintaining pictorial composition. Relevant search keywords repeated for discoverability: foam clay, acrylic on wood, mixed-media wall sculpture, circular relief, blue palette. Conceptually the piece negotiates attraction and vertigo. The sculpted moonlike ground and a pooled or dripping blue at the lower edge articulate a tension between containment and release — a recurring interest in the artist’s practice that pairs celestial metaphor with intimate domestic objects. Small figures and planet orbs serve as human markers, guiding the viewer through scaled narratives that are simultaneously playful and liminal. The work situates itself in a contemporary context where painting and object-based sculpture intersect, and where color field and tactile relief collaborate to generate emotional and spatial resonance. Installation and display notes: wall mounted circular panel designed for vertical display; suitable for residential and curated interiors seeking a sculptural painting with a strong blue palette presence. This mixed-media wall sculpture is presented ready for professional hanging and photographic reproduction. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
