This 2018 resin sculpture “Aurea” by argentine artist Iara Kaumann Madelaire portrays a bald dark-skinned female nude with her hands clasped mid-torso in a sensual, mannerist pose. Every detail of her form is meticulously hand-painted, from the supple flesh tones and skin textures to facial features and hairless head. The figure kneels with eyes half-closed, exuding an unabashed eroticism. Allure emanates from the woman’s confidence and unapologetic nudity; her gesture speaks of agency over her sexuality and identity.

Madelaire’s focus on the non-idealized female body encompasses imperfections like stretch marks, skin moles and spots, exposing vulnerabilities yet implying strength through the figure's pose. This aligns with her interest in embracing perceived flaws and redefining beauty, as well as ownership of identity and sexuality. In her body positive approach, Madelaire’s refusal to conceal or idealize makes “Aurea” a courageous contemporary depiction of the complexity of womanhood. It celebrates beauty, humanity and empowerment through her feminist conviction that our imperfections make us real.
