With this metal female bust sculpture, I wanted to evoke a timeless feminine presence, like a memory sculpted in the material.
A presence inspired by time
In Belisama Antan, the female bust appears as a form both contemporary and timeless. The word Antan evokes a memory, a trace of the past, a presence that seems to transcend time.
The bust’s silhouette gradually emerges through the material. The metal lines outline the body without fully enclosing it, revealing a female figure that seems to emerge from light and space.
Steel and bronze lace
The sculpture is made of steel and bronze lace, a technique achieved by melting metals drop by drop using a dripping process. This method creates an openwork metal network that plays with transparency and light.
Metal lace highlights the shapes of the female body while maintaining a sense of lightness. The contrast between steel and bronze creates a visual richness that emphasizes volume and gives the sculpture a presence that is both strong and delicate.
