Annie Niviaxie’s carvings carry a signature warmth and approachability, often centring on portrayals of women. Her subjects are frequently single women, and at times mothers with children, rendered with a gentle solidity. This small work is a perfect example of her style. The figure’s rounded form, oversized hood, and folded hands evoke a sense of calm presence. The figure's carved facial features are simple yet expressive, reflecting the artist’s gift for distilling human essence into compact, beautifully balanced carvings that invite close and affectionate viewing.
