Always perfect

167 x 67 x 18 cm., bronze and steel, edition of 7.

The women that surround me have taught me that above all, women are asked, demanded or taken for granted that they must always be there, that they must be friends, colleagues, daughters, mothers, workers... perfect, women strong, sensitive, delicate, affectionate, eloquent, friendly, who cry in silence and bear everything, who dream from the ground, who transmit serenity and energy with a smile.

The work represents a woman who, while remaining in a somewhat rigid and studied attitude, glides through a calm and relaxed life, at least in appearance, along the path that she has had to live. It's not easy, it's never easy, rather it's like a roller coaster in which you slide always alert, whether it's the path you've been finding or the one you've wanted to take.

It is a sincere tribute that I express the gratitude I feel towards all the women who are by my side, for always comforting me and teaching me to be the woman I am today.
