    Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout.

    When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight.
    On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
    Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

    We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

    Description

    Little Diver is the third life-size bronze sculpture in Maureen Visagé’s growing figurative series exploring childhood, imagination, and emotional presence.
    Following Little Dancer, Come Play with Us and Little Dreamer, this work continues her devotion to honouring the innocence, joy, and quiet power of girlhood.
    Unveiled in January 2026, Little Diver depicts a spirited young girl standing at the water’s edge, fully immersed in the sensation of the moment—the warmth of the sun on her face, the anticipation of movement, and the freedom of being entirely present.
    Unlike the poised elegance of the dancer or the inward stillness of the dreamer, Little Diver captures a threshold moment: playful, fearless, and alive with possibility.
    The Little Diver invites viewers to reconnect with their own memories of childhood freedom and courage. Little Diver is a celebration of joy without self-consciousness, and of the timeless wonder found in small, lived moments.

    Maureen Visagé – Bronze Sculptures

    Maureen Visagé is a Cape Town–based artist widely admired for her captivating life-size bronze sculptures. Her work reflects a deep passion for artistic expression and a fascination with the emotional richness and quiet poetry of everyday life. With bold gestures, refined detail, and playful elegance, she creates sculptures that feel both whimsical and intimately familiar.

    Central to Visagé’s artistic vision is a celebration of love, joy, and the timeless wonder of childhood. She is particularly inspired by the innocence and imagination of young girls, exploring what she describes as the unique magic of girlhood. Her figures radiate warmth and personality, inviting viewers to reconnect with memories of carefree moments and youthful possibility.

    Her acclaimed sculpture Little Dancer, Come Play with Us pays tribute to Edgar Degas’s iconic dancer, reinterpreted with a charming, contemporary twist.

    While preserving the graceful poise of the original inspiration, Visagé introduces playful nostalgia, most notably through the unexpected detail of bubblegum, infusing the work with humour and lightness.

    She continued this series of life-size figurative bronzes with Little Dreamer, portraying a serene young girl blowing a golden bubble as a symbol of hope and the fragile beauty of dreams, and Little
    Diver, depicting a spirited child savouring a sunlit seaside moment.

    Each limited-edition bronze offers a soulful experience, encouraging reflection on memory, imagination, and connection.

    Her exclusive collection is available at The Artists Gallery in Cape Town.
