This sculpture is not just an anatomical shape; it is a symbol of resilience and passion. Crafted in a lace of steel and bronze, this heart seems to beat to the rhythm of an inner energy. The blend of metals creates a visual depth where the raw strength of steel meets the solar nobility of bronze, evoking the complexity of human feelings: both strong and fragile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe dripping technique (drop-by-drop fusion) gives this heart an organic, almost living appearance. The interlacing metal lets light pass through, suggesting that even the hardest metal can become light and transparent under the fire of emotion. This is a piece from the Intimate collection that celebrates love in all its forms, a metal totem to place in your home as a constant reminder of our own vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3032\" data-start=\"2835\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A-MxvLx32_U?si=ZPomo86cE9Yk5ktr\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSculpture Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 99.915%; height: 235.228px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7436%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eTitle of the Work\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.9793%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e Heart 19-26 - Heart sculpted in metal lace Bronze-Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7436%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eCollection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.9793%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Philippe Buil Heart Sculptures Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/collections\/sculpture-coeur\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHeart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7436%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.9793%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/pages\/qui-suis-je\" title=\"Presentation of the artist Philippe Buil\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePhilippe Buil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7436%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.9793%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eContemporary sculpture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7436%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eTechnique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.9793%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/pages\/technique\" title=\"Philippe Buil metal lace technique\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMetal lace\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7436%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.9793%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eSteel and bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 27.7436%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eSignature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.9793%; text-align: right; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eEngraved on the base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esteel base - diameter 3.15 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHeight 5.9 in - Width 5.5 in - Depth 3.15 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFAQ - Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy combine steel and bronze for a heart?\u003c\/b\u003e Steel represents the structure, strength, and consistency of the heart. Bronze, with its warm reflections, brings the spark, passion, and life. This metal alliance symbolizes the necessary balance between strength and sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow is the \"lace\" created on such a rounded shape?\u003c\/b\u003e That is the whole challenge of manual fusion. I build the volume point by point, making the drops of molten metal flow to draw the curves of the heart while preserving voids. This transparency allows the eye to pass through the work, revealing its internal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIs the sculpture stable?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, it is designed to be balanced on its base or integrated stand. Despite its apparent delicacy, the high-temperature fusion of the metals guarantees perfect rigidity of the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIs this a unique piece?\u003c\/b\u003e Absolutely. Just as every heart beats differently, each \"Heart 19-26\" has its own mesh. The path of the steel and bronze drops is impossible to reproduce identically, making your piece a collectible work signed Philippe Buil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat maintenance does this heart sculpture require?\u003c\/b\u003e The work is protected by a high-quality professional varnish. Occasional dusting with a soft-bristle brush is enough to preserve the shine of the bronze reflections and the clarity of the steel lace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sculpture Philippe BUIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52707912417618,"sku":"26-19","price":296.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2487\/5949\/files\/19-26-coeur-sculpture-bronze-acier-heart-artwork-steel-metal-bronze-Philippe-Buil1.jpg?v=1771162855","url":"https:\/\/sculpture-philippe-buil.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/coeur-19-26-coeur-sculpte-en-dentelle-de-metal-bronze-acier","provider":"Sculpture BUIL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
