From the Olga Korbut School of Welsh Mermaids

We discover the Olga Korbut of Welsh mermaids set in Portland stone in the Welsh seaside town of Porthcawl.

A voluptuous Mermaid figure dubbed ‘Mother Sea’ graces the Porthcawl seafront.

It is located opposite the Seabank Hotel and was installed in 1993.

The sculptor was Peter William Nicholas.

The mother/mermaid figure forms a tight ball or circle representing the cycle of life.

At the seating nearby the sculpture, Art lovers are free to marvel at the evolutionary symbolism of the mermaid figure depicting the emergence of life from sea to land.

The rest of us can enjoy a bag of greasy chips and gawp at a great pair of paps…
