نحت تمثال على شرف صاحبة السمو الملكي الأميرة بسمة

قام النحات البارز والفنان الشهير نيكولاي شماتكو ، بنحت تمثال على شرف صاحبة السمو الملكي الأميرة بسمة بنت سعود. جرى نحت التمثال تقديرا لجهود سمو الأميرة في المجالات السياسية وحقوق الإنسان ، ودعمها وتجسيدها لدور المرأة العربية التي تدعو إلى الإصلاح في بلدها . ويعرض التمثال في معرض شماتكو نيكولاي ليرمز الى ذكاء وحكمة وجمال صاحبة السمو الملكي .


ويتناسب التمثال، مع الافكار والإبداعات الفنية لنيكولاي شماتكو في إبراز صورة المرأة ، ووقع إختياره أن يقدم نموذجا لجمال المرأة من خلال صورة جمالية نحتية لصاحبة السمو الملكي الأميرة بسمة. 
و في معرض رده عن سؤال لأحد الصحفيين عن الدوافع وأسباب اختياره لشخصية الأميرة بسمة ، أجاب قائلا في 
“أخبار معرض الفنون” 20 فبراير 2013 “إنها امرأة ذكية و حكيمة وجميلة و هى في الوقت نفسه ، سياسية وناشطة في مجال حقوق الإنسان ، حيث تطالب بإجراء إصلاحات في بلدها و تدافع عن حقوق المرأة العربية و لا يستطيع المرء الإ أن يبدي إعجابا بها ،و بعملي هذا أظهر تقديري واحترامي للأميرة “.


وقد صنع تمثال نصفي للأميرة بسمة من الجبس ، وهو يشكل بداية عمل نيكولاي شماتكو ، فقد قرر صنع تمثال لصاحبة السمو الملكي الأميرة بسمة ، من الرخام الأبيض الكرارة . وهو الحجر المفضل للفنان ما سيضفى على التمثال رونقا ولمسة من الحنان والصقل و الطابع الملكي . إن النحات يسعى من وراء هذا العمل الفني ، ان يكون- لأسباب كثيرة- بمثابة تذكار في حياتنا فنحن مدينون للأميرة لجهودها الإنسانية المثيرة للإعجاب.

A Sculpture has been made in honour of HRH Princess Basmah

A sculpture has been made in honour of HRH Princess Basmah Bint Saud. It has been displayed in the Gallery of Nikolai Shmatko to represent HRH’s intelligence, wisdom and beauty. It has been made in recognition of HRH’s political and human rights efforts, as well as her embodiment of an Arab woman calling for reform in her county.


The sculpture has been said to be consistent with the main focus of Nikolai Shmatko’s artwork in creating women’s images. This time, he decided to represent the ideal of woman’s beauty through a sculptural portrait of HRH Princess Basmah.
The sculptor was asked by a journalist the reasons behind his choosing HRH Princess Basmah for his artwork as well as why he was attracted by this image.


He was quoted in “Art Gallery News,” 20th February 2013, as saying, “She is a smart, wise woman of earthly beauty, and, at the same time, she is a politician and a human rights activist, who demands for reforms in her country and protects the rights of Arabic women. One cannot help admiring her. With my work I showed my respectful attitude to the Princess.”
Her bust has been made from plaster, but this only marks the beginning of his work. Nikolai Shmatko has decided to create the image of HRH Princess Basmah Bint Saud Bin Abdulaziz in white Carrara marble. This is the sculptor’s favourite stone, which will enable the image of HRH Princess Basmah to be created with refinement, tenderness and royalty. The sculpture would like this artwork to act as a reminder that, for many reasons in our lives, we are indebted to the Princess for her admirable humanitarian efforts.


The Artist


Nikolai Shmatko is renowned as being the King of marble and a professor. He was born in Ukraine and uses the country as a base to create his works. Throughout his career as an artist, he has created over 750 monuments and about 500 paintings, without any state or sponsor help.

It is described as being unique, displaying 70 sculptures made from Ural and Italian marble including around 300 paintings, pictures and drawings.

A new work appeared in the gallery of Nikolai Shmatko. The sculptor remains faithful to his main topic – creation of women's images. This time the ideal of woman's beauty was represented by the sculptural portrait of the Princess of Saudi Arabia Basmah Bint Saud Bin Abdulaziz.

One of the western journalists asked the sculptor why it was her to be chosen and why this image attracted the artist.

- She is a smart, wise woman of earthly beauty, and, at the same time, she is a politician and a human rights activist, who demands for reforms in her country and protects the rights of Arabic women. One cannot help admiring her. With my work I showed my respectful attitude to the Princess.

The bust is made of plaster, but this is just the beginning of the work. Nikolai Shmatko intends to make the image of Basmah Bint Saud Bin Abdulaziz out of white Carrara marble. The favourite stone of the sculptor will give refinement, tenderness and majesty to the image of the Princess. By this work the sculptor wants to convince us of the fact that we are indebted to this woman for many things in our lives.
