About the artwork
The sculpture "Boy with Mangoes" portrays a figure with a childlike countenance. The artwork exudes a tender demeanor, evident in the subtle yet playful smile gracing the boy's face as he holds a bunch of mangoes. Additionally, the presence of a shovel casually slung over his shoulder implies the completion of a day dedicated to harvesting crops. Despite being fashioned from a solid medium, Naidee's sculptures exhibit a remarkable attention to detail. Every crease and edge in the sculpture reveals a delicate slope and fold, enhancing the overall youthful and lively character of Naidee's artistic figures.
