Maureen Visagé is a respected and widely admired artist based in Cape Town, South Africa, celebrated for her evocative life-size bronze sculptures. Her work reflects a profound passion for artistic expression and a fascination with the emotional richness and poetic beauty of everyday life. With bold strokes, playful elegance, and a foundation in drawing, Visagé creates pieces that feel both intimately familiar and deeply moving.

At the heart of Maureen Visagé’s artistic vision is a desire to honour love, joy, feminine strength, and the timeless wonder of childhood. Much of her work is devoted to capturing the innocence and imagination of children—especially girls. As she was once told while expecting her own daughter, there is a unique magic in girlhood that has since become a wellspring of creative inspiration.

One of her most celebrated works, Little Dancer, Come Play with Us, pays homage to Edgar Degas’s iconic Little Dancer. Maureen Visagé’s life-size reinterpretation preserves the graceful poise of the original while introducing whimsical charm and youthful mischief. The playful addition of bubblegum adds a nostalgic, quirky twist—evoking memories of carefree days and the delight of childhood. This sculpture stands as a hallmark of Visagé’s exploration into the world of little dancers and the joyful spirit they embody.

Building on this success, she introduced Little Dreamer, the second piece in her evolving series of life-sized figurative bronzes. Little Dreamer portrays a serene young girl gently blowing a golden bubble—a quiet yet powerful symbol of hope, wonder, and the fragile beauty of dreams. Rich with expressive detail and thoughtful composition, the work invites viewers to reconnect with their inner child and to find joy in the present moment.

Each of Maureen Visagé’s limited-edition bronze sculptures offers a soulful experience—an invitation to pause, reflect, and celebrate the inner landscapes of emotion, memory, and human connection. Her work is a jubilant tribute to the small moments that shape us, blending quiet contemplation with vivid storytelling.
