// Paloma Varga-Weisz’s Spike is a small, evocative bronze sculpture that presents a dog's head adorned with a ruffled collar, reminiscent of traditional portraiture. Measuring only 10 cm in diameter, the piece captures intricate details in the dog’s facial expression, giving it a dignified yet approachable presence. The ruffled collar around the neck lends a theatrical, almost regal quality, perhaps referencing the style of historical portraiture where animals were sometimes depicted with human attributes. Limited to an edition of 100, Spike embodies Varga-Weisz's unique approach to merging whimsy with classical art forms, imbuing the sculpture with personality and charm.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
