This solid bronze sculpture rises like a rare presence, a silent figure that crosses the space with absolute elegance. Deliberately stretched out, the silhouette reduces the body to an essential, almost immaterial line. It evokes a woman, but also an idea: that of a standing being, an inner strength, an identity held in restraint.
In this resolutely contemporary creation, The language is one of simplification. No faces, no descriptive details: the work is situated elsewhere, in balance, tension and verticality. The approach modern minimalist is part of a tradition of’stylised figurative art, where form becomes symbol and emotion is born of simplicity.
Two finishes offer two sensitive readings. The version in raw bronze reveals a warm, almost solar light. The material catches the eye, highlighting the irregularities, the marks, the worked skin of the bronze. The version in bronze with verdigris patina introduces a more mineral, timeless depth, where shades of turquoise interact with flashes of gold, like a memory of time.
Each surface bears the mark of the gesture: a vibration, a breath. This sculpture of a slender woman asserts a presence that is both fragile and sovereign. It becomes an anchor point in a contemporary interior, a collection or an architectural space.
A piece of contemporary semi-figurative sculpture that celebrates dignity, solitude and the beauty of the essential.
