Immaculate Sacred Heart of Mary
Textured Bas-relief sculpture on canvas, 90 cm, organic material, 24-carat gold leaf, palette knife and bare hands
This work is born from a deep listening to matter and to the silence that flows through it.
It is the result of a slow, conscious gesture, where bare hands and spatula smooth, caress, and carve, allowing a heart to emerge that is not merely a symbol, but a living presence.
For the artist, the Immaculate Heart of Mary represents a purity that is not fragility, but inner strength—a deliberate choice of love capable of welcoming without judgment.
It is a light that passes through the wound without erasing it, a tenderness that protects and sustains.
The 24-carat gold leaf is not decorative: it reveals and illuminates the material, activating a profound dialogue with whiteness, emptiness, and silence.
The surface thus becomes a space for contemplation, where light and form merge into a sacred balance.
A work conceived for those who feel before they look, for those who recognize beauty as a spiritual act and matter as a language of the soul.
A heart to be encountered, rather than simply observed.
