It’s about my sister again.
She is Sclerosis Multiple victim. The big portrait of her, or
sooner, how I imagine she looks like now. I haven’t seen
her for last fifteen years.
The huge bust of her, more than twelve feet high, for the indoor
exhibition. It is very important, that it is big and scarcely
fits the room. It’s looks like too big.
The sculpture is made of fiberglass and then painted with enamel.
The colors are simplified, like those of one doll.
But this face looks like older and very tired. Has clear blue
eyes gazing the spectator. She takes care of him and is overwhelming
him.
This stature incites the spectator to question his own physical
presence. The metaphoric existence of any work of art generates
a mystery and, consequently, awakens the need in the spectator
to explain it. As he or she tries to solve these endless paradigms,
he necessarily starts becoming responsible for his or her own
space and action in the world.
As in the literary work Le petit prince, the essential is invisible
to the eyes is the sculpture-installation that refers to our
transitory presence here and to death itself.
The sculpture The essential is invisible to the eyes,
made1999 to 2002, of fiberglass, PVC, enamel and acrylic paint,
size: 138” x 163 _” x 78” (350 x 415 x 195
cm), has been exhibited few times during 2002 and 2003. Later,
there was no place to store it and was destroyed in the dumping
yard.
