Inspired by the figurative bronze sculpture King and Queen by Henry Moore, this two-part sculpture was made from Portuguese blue marble and is placed on a dark charkcoal concrete base.

The artist describes her work as:
“An abstract sculpture in marble, composed with two half-spheres creating a dynamic balance in the becoming. Each is crafted from a stone of slightly different structure and color. The two half-spheres are carved with a concave face, revealing a gap nestled between them.

The half-sphere alludes to the crowns that were shaped like skulls or shells, like natural figures of history layered in the stone. I wanted to create the work KING & KING to celebrate the splendor of alliance.

The sphere is an infrangible form that I often call upon in my projects. My dialogue with its fundamental symbolism requires a right approach as it evokes the cosmos, planets and the forming of new worlds, always leading to active and unexpected proposals.”

“The work is installed in an open landscape space surrounded by trees, a changing green setting that enters into dialogue with it: in this spring, the green foliage and a tree in full bloom frame the sculpture and enhance it, as in a Zen garden where all the elements are intimately linked and thought out together. With its curves and two embracing volumes, KING & KING offers a majestic and harmonious presence, at once firmly anchored to the earth and directed towards the sky, coiled in on itself and expanding. In a movement that is both balanced and unshakeable, circular and infinite, it makes the empty space around it vibrate. The delicately polished surface of the grey-blue marble reacts with its environment and the variations in light and atmosphere, constantly modifying the perception of these two joined forms: in turn, the grey glow of a cloudy sky is reflected on the curved and leaning face of the half-sphere positioned on the other, and is reflected even in its curved face; or, under a sharper light, the sun casts a very pronounced shadow, an ellipse that occupies almost the entire rectangle drawn by the base. KING & KING is a powerful and sensitive work, which reminds us of the energy contained in a simple body like the sphere, and confronts us with the potential of the curve, in a world populated by orthogonality and the rectilinear figure.”
