Sketch of the plaster statue of Saint Teresa of 17th century

This is a pencil sketch of a plaster cast based on the 17th-century classical masterpiece Saint Teresa. The work depicts the figure of Saint Teresa from the renowned sculpture “The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa” by the Baroque master Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The original sculpture captures the moment when her soul is completely pierced by divine love — where pain, joy, surrender, and light exist simultaneously. Through graphite pencil, I reinterpret this plaster cast, transforming the three-dimensional sacred ecstasy into two-dimensional lines and light. This is not merely an anatomical study, but a record of a moment — when the human soul encounters the divine.
