Parametric sculpture Nika of Samothrace
Parametric sculptural composition
Nika is a contemporary interpretation inspired by the ancient Nike of Samothrace. The project reinterprets the classical form through the language of parametric art, preserving the power of the original and translating it into the context of today's space.
The composition is based on the image of the goddess of victory, discovered on the island of Samothrace in 1863 and now housed in the Louvre. Here, it is not literally reproduced, but transformed: the movement, rhythm, and tension of the form become an independent artistic gesture. The sculpture enters into a dialogue with the architecture and forms the emotional center of the environment.
The composition consists of more than 150 duralumin plates coated with liquid ceramic and matte varnish. The 3D model was created by hand from scratch, paying attention to the proportions, movement, and plasticity of the original, but without directly quoting it.
In this project, modern technology serves not effect, but space. The reimagined form is open to interpretation and allows the sculpture to subtly interact with the environment, setting its mood, depth, and point of attraction.
