AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Family
Year: 2019
Dimensions: H 45 L 16 P 10 cm
Technique: Black terracotta, patinated.
Editions: 2/10
Shipped with Authentication
This sculpture seems to convey a strong symbolic message about the birth and creation of life. The use of black, patinated refractory clay gives it a simultaneously solemn and mysterious quality, while the fusion between the two human figures suggests a deep, almost mystical union.
Signs on the male bust, representing sperm, and the eggs on the female side, are powerful symbolic choices that not only refer to the biological process of reproduction but also to a broader vision of creation as something born from an encounter between complementary energies. The fact that the sculpture also has a figurative dimension — not only visual but also symbolic — invites the viewer to reflect on the generation of life, love, and union.
