The woman is placidly reclining on her chaise longue and heedless of the signs of aging. Its beauty seems to be lost in a distant world, and yet it touches our souls. A divine and idealized grace breathes from its perfect forms, but a skillful hand breathes life into the whiteness of the marble, which folds like young skin, becomes a veil or soft pillow, and warms with the warmth of flesh.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The timeless aesthetic perfection of Sculpture , has accompanied us since Antiquity. If the marble flesh is shaped following a precise study of forms and features, the spirits contained within them struggle to emerge from these extraordinary containers, which are too good to be true. <\/span>Perfect anatomies, mysterious souls surpassing reality, always turning to ideal beauty. Whether they are mythological figures, literary or religious characters, allegorical representations, women of unparalleled beauty, they are always works that are inspired by the past while turning to the future.<\/p>\n
